With only a month and a half separating the debut of Final Fantasy XIII-2 in Japan from its release in the West, fans are already gearing up for their return to Gran Pulse. With its drastically different plot and myriad of gameplay changes, has XIII-2 risen above the problems of its predecessor or is it simply a retread of what came before?

My fellow Gamers, as the moon turns and the long foretold coming the Thirteenth of the Fantasies Final draws nigh, one word has been spat like a curse across the Realm.

I'm surprised at the amount of import reviews of Final Fantasy XIII where the reviewer doesn't speak Japanese, hasn't beaten the game, or both. So what I give you is an informed review of the entire game from someone who actually understands it. Enjoy.
