Final Fantasy XIII-2 will be less linear, tell a clearer story, and take its players down darker paths accor♐ding to an interview with head members 𝔉of the Final Fantasy XIII-2 team in Japanese game magazine Dengeki.
In the mag's latest issue, Producer's Yoshinori Kitase and director Motomu Toriyama talk about the upcoming seque⛎l and the many ways in which Square Enix plans to show that they've been listening to their fans. Among the most promising tidbits from the interview is news that the team plans to completely avoid the cutesy, pop music trappings of its X-2 sequel, and that there will be alterations made to both to the battle system and XIII's oft-lamented linear style. Granted, replacing pop music with extra-broody brooding doesn't really smash any 🌃JRPG stereotypes, but we'll see how it turns out.
As for the game's storytelling, Kitase and Toriyama noted that Fantasy XIII-2 will continue to introduce its share of mysteries, but do a lot to shed some light as to what the hell went on in the XIII. Dengeki's arti😼cle also revealed that players will carry on the search for an invisible gate to the world of Bunibelle, and that a goddess by the name of Etro will play a heavy role in the ensuing adventures.
