Final Fantasy XIII-2

Final Fantasy 13-2 tells the story of Serah Farron, who is on a quest to find her sister Lightning from the previous game. It marks only the second time that a mainline Final Fantasy game received a direct sequel, with the first having been Final Fantasy 10-2 some eight years prior.

Created as a direct sequel to Final Fantasy 13, FINAL FANTASY XIII-2 aims to surpass the quality of its predecessor in every way. It features new gameplay systems, cutting-edge visuals, and enhanced audio. Continuing the story of Lightning, players pick up where they left off instead following Serah as she searches for her sister across time and space.

In this game, players can travel through time so the fauna, scenery, flora, weather, and other aspects of a location change as you visit them multiple times. The environments are larger and more interactive with tons of paths to explore.

Since the player has the freedom to choose from a range of possibilities and paths, their choices affect not only the immediate environment, but even shape time and space! Be warned though: monsters still stalk the map, but they can also be recruited into the player's party, too.

No longer is the story about facing destiny. Now, the player can instead create a new future and change the world!
