The long-awaited Final Fantasy XIII has also been widely criticized. Square Enix gives the right of reply with Final Fantasy XIII-2, "Part Two" which aims to expand the universe of the original chapter, both narrative and play.

The interview that came out you can find it by pointing your browser at this address , while below we will focus on our field test. But before another recommendation: it is a hands-on specifically designed for us to try out the first phases of the game, we can not help but mention the length and breadth of detail on characters, events and settings, although several of them have already been revealed a number of occasions in recent months. The spoiler is served, in short, and those who want to get to get their hands on the game free as possible by advances have been warned.

Final Fantasy XIII-2 begins with a beautiful movie in computer graphics. We are at Valhalla, a city that stands in the alternate dimension where Lightning is following the events of Final Fantasy XIII. While the heroine speaks with reflective tone, there's a guy on the beach, Caius, who walks slowly into the sea. The feeling is of peace, found a balance, but it is not destined to last. Caius immediately reveals a bad temper, evoking water monstrous figures, that trigger chaos. The two can not help but fight. It follows what is the tutorial on the game's combat system, placed in a succession of phases from high-impact stage, dialogues, other movies in computer graphics and real QTE, called Cinematic Actions, where you must press the keys shown in screen with timing, sometimes choosing between different options, the Space Ace .

While the two if they give a thrashing, with Lightning comes to summon Odin and Caius that turns into a Chaos Bahamut, the conflict spreads in the town, Then in his heaven and finally into what looks like a flat plane purely abstract. At one point a Etro's Gate, a passage in which floats a boy who seems to know and Lightning running to rescue before the fury of Caius could drown. Noel is Kreiss, one of the two protagonists of Final Fantasy XIII-2. Noel Lightning is there because he heard his prayers, with which it called a miracle: no longer alone. Kreiss is in fact a future where there are human beings, was the last child to be born and saw all the people who knew die, one after the other. After defeating Caius (perhaps permanently, most likely not), Lightning explains that there is a way to fix things, but must serve a mission for her, which is intertwined with the fate of what is second protagonist of the game: his sister Serah, who still lives in Cocoon, where everyone, including you, believe that Lightning is dead.
