You should play 13-2, just to witness the ending.

Hm, ok. To date I've managed to avoid all 13-2 spoilers. Guess I'll bite the bullet.

I loved the ending but I'm feeling weird when i have to spend so many hours looking on walkthroughs to regenerate all different endings...I still can't unlock the last one. Also I wasted so many hours playing the chocobo races and I have to finish the jackpot for the last fragment I think.

Hey @LeonhartGR, you will not believe this, but I spent a whole night for my brother to get that jackpot from the slot machine. I found a way to push in the automatic command via the left bumper of the X-Box 360 controller, and did this for over 7 hours. Before that, I actually put some thought and strategy into the slot machine. I then realized that @DLPB is correct about Square-Enix having so many cash-in schemes. No matter how hard I tried, I could not get the three in a row black monster jackpot.

When did I do this? I think it was in Mid-June this year. Oh, and my brother purchased the most expensive version of the game. The soundtrack is amazing. I actually liked the DLC for the Battle Arena, because I got to see new versions of re-occuring monsters like Gilgamesh and Typhon and Ultros.

Nonetheless, I believe you used the correct phrase under the circumstances;)

Just an FYI for everyone having trouble with the jackpot fragment, win about 10k casino coins (either by a chocobo strategy which I could share if you needed, although decent strategies are everywhere) or buy the Sazh dlc (you're give 10k casino coins I believe) then go to the girl near the slot machine and talk to her. The time she tells you the machine is on fire is when you should play. Then just prop your controller against something so the trigger is held down to auto play, then go watch tv or something and check back in on it in like 3-4 hours. I platinumed this game and had a lot of fun doing it.

On topic: Since the game is only supposed to last between 1 and 2 hours, I wonder if it'll release with a reduced price. As much as Asura's Wrath looked cool to me a I refuse to pay $20+ for a six hour game. (Well that and Capcom makes you pay another $7 dollars for the dlc on that game to actually finish the story.)

@StickySock The girl always tells me the machine is on fire... A friend told me to stick a sticker on L1 and go out and when I return it will be ready. Whatever...!!!

I guess that could possibly work, but I just propped mine up against my gf's jewelry box, came back after a while and had hit like 7 jackpots. Just set the controller between two objects that are heavier than the controller to push the button in. Works like a charm.

The game is currently 30% complete

This will be Lightning's last game and will end with a happy ending. The game has just one ending.

The first FFXIII was story driven, meaning that the story pulled the player along. FFXIII-2 was player driven, meaning players selected the story. Lightning Returns is World Driven, meaning players have to consider how they interact with the changing world.

The game's in-game time works out to one day being the equivalent of one to two hours of real time. There will be increases and decreases in time.

The game is meant to be played and cleared multiple times. The volume is not such that it will take many tens of hours to clear once.

People from XIII-2 haven't died. Because of the effects of the chaos (I'm not sure if this is the proper English word), people have stopped aging and don't get old.

The Novus world has four continents, two natural and two city-type.

Depending on your actions, the remaining life of the world could decrease, and the game could end before the 13 day limit.

There are some times when helping someone will decrease the life of the world.

Defeating some enemies and clearing some quests will increase the life of the world.

Lightning is all by herself in battle, allowing you to concentrate more than when you had to control a party.

Lightning has become a considerably more refined person.

You can freely move around during battle. Some elements of the battle system are timing-based.

The battle system is close to action. There's an ATB gauge.

During battle, you don't select menu commands. Instead, you select abilities which have been assigned to buttons.

Hope will give guidance to Lightning via wireless com.

The city has clocks everywhere showing the constant progression of time.

Something's wrong with people in Square... they are not them... I think they might have been possessed by some Chinese curse or something...

I'm sorry but I personally flagged this video for "misleading description" since they have deactivated the rating and comments. I suggest you do the same even if they don't care as it looks like by their mockery.

Uh heh heh. Hey @LeonhartGR, that is kanji.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanji

I watched the video; it seemed that the characters were a mixture of kanji and modern standard mandarin that were on the door and in the pop ups.

:/

Well it just showed Lightning in the new world, with Hope talking to her and a battle. Also Chocolina was shown.

So, we have Hope, Snow and Chocolina confirmed to return. No word on what's happened to Vanille, Fang, Sazh or Noel yet. I wonder if Alyssa got erased or not...
