I'm split on the paradigm shift speed increase. While it was frustrating occasionally, it was a way of somewhat keeping you from changing roles every second. Also, if you noticed, if you paradigm shifted every two turns, you finished the shift with a full ATB. So it really wasn't a big deal for me.

Actually, what you juts mentioned is something I have to exploit to its fullest on my SRC run. If you notice in the demos, there's still a period of time where you can't act, but it isn't a full two seconds like in FF13's first shift. It's about a half second, which is more than enough time to get punished if you're not paying attention.

Add in blood damage, and I think it will balance itself out pretty well. Depending on how dangerous blood damage is.

This might be most interesting to Renai, but I found it cool: http://finalfantasyxiii2.wordpress.com/2011/11/10/final-fantasy-xiii-2-akb48s-dlc-costumes-revealed/

I like the one on the right a little more... it reminds me of Lightning a little. But they're both pretty spectacular. Imagine that... a pop star with talent.

Also, maybe you'd like info on the NA Collector's Edition? http://finalfantasyxiii2.wordpress.com/2011/11/10/final-fantasy-xiii-2-north-american-collectors-edition-revealed/

*ignores first link to avoid getting ticked off and derailing topic again*

*checks second*

Artbook is meh. Soundtrack? If that's the full one, hell yeah. And artwork by Amano is always fantastic. It's always great to see his interpretation of characters.

http://finalfantasyxiii2.wordpress.com/2011/11/11/final-fantasy-xiii-2-includes-a-bonus-for-ffxiii-players-hope-plays-an-important-role/

More info!

If you recall, there was a "bonus" mentioned earlier for the FF13 save data, but they found out that it was a bad translation. The "bonus" was that various characters would recap the events of the previous game. In reality, various characters will recap the events of the loaded FF13-2 save data, similar to FF13's text loading screen, but better. This will occur normally, even without FF13 save data.

Slight off topic: That would be Yuko Oshima from AKB48.

Slightly on topic: I'm not surprised. AKB48 is very popular in Japan. A lot of companies endorse (if i spelt that right) their products with these girls. As for the costume, I think Yuko done an exellent job with the costume, it looks really cool.

She's one of the lead beta testers for FF13-2, so she's had hands-on experience with the game. There have been a few quick ads with her playing it for promotional purposes, I guess. I'm glad she found a way to contribute to the game beyond the normal beta testing too.

Everyone knew the rating would be T for Teen in NA, but did you know it's rated that for Drug References? Here's the full list: http://finalfantasyxiii2.wordpress.com/2011/11/12/final-fantasy-xiii-2-rated-by-the-esrb-drug-as-bastard/

Here's a leaked gameplay video that has horrible quality, but shows some very interesting things, such as the game menu. Which looks AMAZING. I *love* that game menu.



Here's another video that was filmed at the same place. This one doesn't appear to have any gameplay, but has a bunch of people talking about things that we've probably already heard. The translation is a little less than perfect, but good enough. Take a look if you want:

More FF13-2 Information.

**WARNING: LINK CONTAINS SPOILERS**

Evidentally, someone spoiled the beginning of FF13-2. I haven't read the information contained in the links, and the best way I can send this to you is by redirecting you to deviantart, cause I sure don't want to spoil the entire beginning quite yet. http://finalfantasyxiii-2.deviantart.com/journal/Gameinformer-Magazine-Spoils-Beginning-of-FFXIII-2-268897650

As stated in the article, please refrain from posting about the spoilers here. I don't want to hear about it, personally, even in spoiler tags. But I can't stop you, of course.

**END SPOILER WARNING**

The following shows a scan from Jump magazine. Apparently, it talks about the new Crystarium and shows some pictures, but they're really hard to see. Also, I don't speak Japanese.

EVEN MORE!

Here's some much better resolution photos of the new Crystarium (which looks pretty cool right now), as well as the announcement of style accessories for your monsters. Like in ToV where you could give Yuri that awesome hat, you can give your monsters various non-enhancing accessories like sunglasses on your Flanbanero.
