Final Fantasy XIII-2 inches ever closer, so it's no surprise that the week's news is primarily related to the sequel inbound. Kotaku posted http://kotaku.com/5863029/gaze-into-the-mystery-of-these-new-final-fantasy-xiii+2-screens-hey-a-chicken-lady this week with nothing but new screenshots, and it seems that the hottest thing revealed within (no pun intended) is the new merchant, Chocolina, who dresses up like a chocobo on fire - if the chocobo wanted to show some skin. I'm hoping that getup is all faux chocobo, or else PETA will be on Squenix' case now that they're done with Mario.

The sequel also changes up the battle system a bit, http://kotaku.com/5864112/check-out-final-fantasy-xiii+2s-tweaked-battle-system-in-this-new-trailer. This paragraph is short because, really, what else are you going to say about that?

An interview http://www.destructoid.com/an-interview-with-the-men-behind-final-fantasy-216354.phtml, once they can finish all the hires they want to build the game out. The first image representing this game was released today, and it means very little. If you presented the image without content, I would have guessed Devil May Cry at first. Not sure what that means, to be honest, but, hey, there's a big white owl.

QTE's in FF13-2? Kudos to Square-Enix for making absolutely sure I'll never play it! tongue.gif

FPS FF? As long as they think BF3 and Call of Duty and not Duke Nukem Forever they probably can't screw up.

Oh, and Half-Life 2 storytelling.

Yes, imagine it. The looks of FF, the multi-player of BF3, the single-player of CoD, the story of Half Life 2.

Sods law says we get the looks of Half Life 2, the multi-player of FF, the single-player of BF3 and... er, the story of BF3 as well. Which is to say we get the story of Black Ops mixed with MW2 but crap.

An owl? Hm, well everyone is fond of Owls...

Let's be honest; you knew you weren't going to play it from the moment it was announced tongue.gif

BARTHANDELUS!

I do appreciate gothic art style. Of course, that still leaves about 239879287 factors unaccounted for.

Dayum... Them's some big chocobos!

Not sure if I like the design... but meh.

As for an FPS, I could dig it. I did enjoy Dirge of Cerberus, after all, unlike oh so many.
