A while back ago I posted a list on which RPGs from the 7th gen you should consider checking out. Now it’s time for their handheld counterparts to shine. RPGs thrived on handhelds due to Japan’s shift towards portable gaming. While some saw that shift as a negative, others embraced it. For those of us who welcomed the change, we were awarded with very enjoyable games.

This review of Final Fantasy XIII-2 is from my experiences with the game through the PS3 and the PC port. I have played through the English & Japanese version of FFXIII-2 on the PS3 and the initial version of the Steam port.
I recently had a conversation about Final Fantasy in a cafe recently. He noticed I was playing Final Fantasy IV and struck up a small little talk about the franchise we both loved. We talked about the highs and the lows, and what we’d like to see in the future. Then he made a comment on how Final Fantasy XIII-2 is the poor man’s Chrono Trigger but with a better battle system. Now, I was inclined to agree about the battle system, but Final Fantasy XIII-2 is nowhere near the fabled SNES classic.

Here’s a bit of a disclaimer. My love for FFXIII is well documented. I platinumed the game two times on the PS3. Hell, I even bought a copy for the Xbox 360 - a console I don’t even own. I recognize its faults, but I tend to look past those and enjoy what is presented before me. There is something beautiful beneath all the uncertainty. And with its recent release on the PC, I wonder if it can recapture that beauty for me.

Second Opinion by Omar (@siegarettes)
For over 25 years, Final Fantasy has always filled the ears of many with varied sounds of wonder, sadness, and happiness. There is no doubt that the talents of people such as Nobuo Uematsu, Masashi Hamauzu, Naoshi Mizuta, Hitoshi Sakimoto and many others have set standard of what videogame music should be. Theatrhytm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call (TRFFCC) is a game that expands on the celebration of Final Fantasy music like it’s predecessor. But this time, you might want to stick around for the encore.
