The review has been updated based on the United Kingdom’s release of Final Fantasy XIII-2. I am sure anyone who has a brain and who reads Tweaked for your Pleasure would have worked out that I would end up doing a Final Fantasy XIII-2 review and with the power of importing, here is the review. The game is based on the events of what happened in Final Fantasy XIII so if you have not completed that, complete it first as it will make sense.
Gameplay-wise, it does play much like Final Fantasy XIII but and I will repeat this once, does not feel the same as Final Fantasy X-2 and Final Fantasy IV: The After Years etc this game feels like it is a game on its own and can stand against the game before it.
