Final Fantasy XIII-2 Trailer Now Available in English
by Xav de Matos, Jan 20, 2011 10:30am PSTFor non-Japanese speaking among us, the only thing we could do when Square Enix revealed the surprising sequel, Final Fantasy XIII-2, at an event earlier this week was look at the leaked trailer and Square Enix's trademark pretty CGI.
Today that all changes following a viewing of an English version of the trailer, letting us know exactly what's going on.
Perhaps, "know exactly what's going on" is a stretch, as we really cannot decipher any of the game's story from the monologue featured in the short 1 minute, 28 second video.
One thing we do know? Square Enix loves hugs and armor that poorly protects those who don it.

So I'm starting to wonder, why did this game get good reviews? Every review I read seems to say "well I didn't like it but it has good graphics and I bet there is some segment of gamers somewhere that love this sort of stuff." No. No I don't think there is such a demographic. The 8's and 9's this game received in reviews make me suspicious of the whole game review industry. If a game is bad, then give it a bad rating. It's almost like they feel it would be blasphemy to give a triple A title a bad rating. But bad games deserve bad ratings and you'd be hard pressed to find someone who didn't think FFXIII wasn't a miserable experience.
I'm a huge fan of Final Fantasy and JRPGs. I've played through all three Etrian Odyssey games for chrissakes. So if even I hated FFXIII, then who is left to love it?
