First off I would like to say that I’m sorry that this post is a day late. I’ve been sick these last couple days. As such, I have not had time play through the game I planned to review. Instead I will be giving my first thoughts on the demo of Final Fantasy 13-2. I will also not be rating the game on any scale; I feel that people rely too much on this rating system which can drop very quickly over the little things, turning people away from an otherwise great game.
At first glance this game looks amazing. When you get up close, it looks even better, no detail has been left out, even the cut scenes look fantastic, and they appear to use the same engine as the game itself. (Or just have flawless transitions)
The game-play is phenomenal; the turn based combat from the previous games has been replaced with a real time system that combines a bit of each. The combat feels like turn based game but still has that rushed, fast paced vibe that turn based games are lacking.
The combat system is set up where you assign paradigms to your “party”. These paradigms are ways that you set the group up for combat. You can set people to be medics, defenders, attackers, saboteurs, etc. and then determine preset combinations for combat. You can switch your paradigm at any time in battle based on the need. So if your health is low, set to a healing paradigm, if you’re taking damage fast, set to a defensive one, and so forth.
Over all (at least what I get from the demo) the game is fantastic, I plan to get once I get some money, and I highly recommend getting the demo to see if the game-play is something you will like.
