Final Fantasy XIII-2

If you enjoyed Final Fantasy XIII, read no further. Go out and buy XIII-2 right now. If you need a bit more motivation than that, read on.

13-2 picks up a few years after 13 left off. If you didn't play the first game, there is a pretty comprehensive recap of the events you missed available from the main menu. While this will get you up to speed with the basics of the storyline, you'll be missing out on that special bond with the characters which is one of the many joys of sequels. For this reason, I highly recommend playing 13 first.

On the other hand, 13 may not have appealed to you for a variety of reasons, many of which have been addressed and improved upon for this sequel. The linear storyline, while a necessity in 13, is gone in 13-2. As you start 13-2, you'll immediately learn that something has gone wrong since the end of 13, and that Lightning has gone missing. You, Lightning's younger sister Serah, are the only one who believes she's still out there somewhere. Aided by a mysterious young man called Noel, you embark on a time travelling quest to find your sister and fix whatever went wrong with the timeline. As such, you'll soon be jumping between different times and places, solving puzzles and unravelling the mystery.

As you unlock the various levels and start changing things, you'll be able to embark on missions in the order of your choosing. If you jump into one area that turns out to be too difficult, you can jump to another place in time until your characters are a bit stronger. While this may all seem confusing and overwhelming at first, you'll soon get the hang of jumping through time and sorting out the tangled mess that is spacetime.

Along the way, you'll meet old friends and make new ones, and discover what's been happening since 13 ended. This game even includes some conversation choices, something that's become very popular in Western RPGs, but not so much in JPRGs. And, if that's not enough, you can revisit timelines and try again if you didn't like the outcome. All your meddling can even result in some parallel timelines, which just showcases the myriad effects that your actions can have.
