ugh
I don't want to think about what Atilla drops (if anything)
Just be glad they got rid of the treasure hunter trophy.
ULTROS!
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
Ok wtf at the end.
*major spoiler*
*major spoiler*
Serah dies, Moogle dies, Bhu-something ceases to exist, and Lighting is the new Etro and yet to be continued? Wtffffff. Is this the real ending?

I just saw this myself. HOLY SHIT at this ending. There DEFINITELY needs to be a XIII-3
Has this game felt ridiculously short to anyone else? I'm in the final area already and I've never beaten a JRPG this quickly before.
Just taking a breather after spending about 2 hours

falling off blocks repeatedly. This last area reminds me powerfully of a certain horrible dungeon on the fourth disc of Lost Odyssey. At least that one was optional...

It's so much easier if you
get the fragment skill that lets you jump farther
They are only from Yomi.
Uh oh, there needs to be a XIII-3? I don't know how I feel about that :/
Lolol, that Lost Odyssey dungeon was so obnoxious. If it wasn't for achievements, I would have skipped it.
Thanks, I do have that already. I'm more having trouble mentally keeping track of what is going where. Might need to draw an old-fashioned paper map!

I hope it's REALLY large, it'll be pretty cool. I guess with her we will be able to import our monsters deck and get the chance to use some stronger mob in there.

*snicker* I can't wait until more people beat the game. I'm really curious as to what other people think about it!

Well, if they're going to finish the story through DLC, it's going to have to be some pretty damn large DLC.

So, as far as the Lightning DLC goes... ENDING SPOILERS:
How are they going to have DLC featuring her when she's crystal now?

They can always have her episode take place
before the ending/some other time line/time period/whatever they can cook up
Bwahahaha.
Here's a question, what game had the better ending? XIII or XIII-2? You can't choose neither.
I thought FFXIII had a normal concluding ending, haven't beat XIII-2 so I can't imagine it had a much better ending because everyone is complaining about it.
Please don't buy them. It's because we keep buying them that they keep supporting these crappy microtransactions and unbearable development processes. I guarantee that they had this crap in mind when they were making XIII-2. Ugh.
I'm highly against DLC as it is. SE has really gone overboard with it
considering there is no resolution to XIII-2's story.

The ending could have been better if
Kagari, when you get to interview Toriyama again, please throw a tomato at him and tell him it's from the FF fans.
the ending stopped when they were checking out the new Cocoon, no more Serah dying bullshit.

I'm ok with DLCs when good, so that must be seen yet. More than this formula (full price game + episodic DLCs) I'd like for Square Enix to try an episodic Final Fantasy only DD. Like Telltale games. I think jRPGs being so close to manga and anime's universe will benefit from doing so.
I don't know why they even with that ending. It doesn't make sense at all.
It's like they thought "So... how can we ruin this and make more money out of it..."

To be fair, DLC generally has to be in the pipeline during development or else it will release too late when the game is no longer relevant.

Jaffe disagrees but then again he could be lying.
Honestly, with the way the game was paced I'm surprised that they didn't go for the episodic digital distrubition method. Pacing is good and everything. Whatever... I don't care what SE Japan does anymore. Just give me more Deus Ex...
I'll kick you if they decided to make Versus XIII a downloadable episodic game.
Shh, don't give them any ideas...

They should start now for Versus. I guarantee that the last episode will come out by 2030

Too late to do so with that, but maybe a spin-off series or XV will follow that concept. Square Enix is pretty aggressive with this in XIII-2, could be a sneak peak at what will come eventually next time. I think it could be an entertaining way of delivering a jRPG like a manga or anime.
Deus Ex it's so good...
and The Missing Link is even better. DLCs can BE so good sometimes.
Too bad they screwed up the DLC by pricing it too high.

I believe they have a few more vehicles (Mr. Slam and Twister) modeled already, and Jaffe said they might see a release if the game is successful.
FF13-2, right. I know what they were going for with the ending,
but other interquels such as ESB and Mass Effect 2 at least offer some resolution, though the story clearly isn't over. 13-2 offers nothing.
Story-aside, I haven't finished 13-2 yet but I don't feel ripped off. The game is pretty long and meaty....poor choice of words.
There's a difference between satisfying ending and the opposite. SE failed so hard. They barely answered any questions and by the end of the game it was more of a, "if it ends this way I'll let it slide." But they had the balls to put a "To be continued" at the end. I was like, really? The hell is this? If you're going to have another game. Have the decency to make the ending satisfying and conclusive for that saga.

I agree. "Toriyama-san, what is your writing process like? What are your inspirations?" As he's pondering, strike!
When I saw the ending, I was like, "No fucking way that's the ending." And then when the secret ending was revealed, my feelings were a bit incredulous. It's for that reason that I don't want to purchase any DLC at all. Don't support that garbage.
Exactly my thinking.

Wait I thought of something.
Can't say since I haven't seen it, but does 13-2's ending say "To be continued" or To be concluded?"

The former.

Why does it matter? Oh wait, I think I see what you're getting at...
To be fair, the (late Episode 4 spoilers)
