[quote name='cheapnpoor']I lost interest in the series after FF X. And only pick the regular version of XIII.
Should I even bother to get this? I'm tempted by the price.[/QUOTE]
I barely beat XIII and I played the hell out of XIII-2 and got the final secret 100% ending. Loved it (the game, not the ending... GRRRRR TO BE CONTINUED IN XIII-3).
FFXIII-2 fixed a lot of the issues that made FFXIII a snooze. Battle system is updated, less pointless end-game grinding, fewer "hallway" levels, branching cool / interesting story line, time travel and alternate reality stuff, ability to replay levels... a bit of a Pokemon aspect to it since you can capture enemy animals to use as team-mates and you can level them, which is actually pretty cool. Side stuff like Chocobo raising & racing also kinda cool.
Bah, now I'm tempted to pick up the DLC just to play this again, even though I heard the DLC didn't actually add much.
