Last week’s rumors were true! Square Enix has officially announced Final Fantasy XIII-2 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Coming “next winter”, the game is a direct sequel to the hugely popular Final Fantasy XIII. Here’s a snippet from the press release:
Production on Final Fantasy XIII-2 is underway, and builds upon the best aspects of Final Fantasy XIII. In particular, a brand new story and evolved battle system promise to stand out markedly against the standard for high-quality content established by the previous title.
I was psyched when I first heard rumors about this game. I was super psyched when a few unnamed sources told me that they’ve seen it. Although Square Enix has been getting a ton of buzz from its latest Final Fantasy Versus VIII trailer, I’m actually more interested in this game (for now).
Be sure to check out the leaked trailer above. What do you think?!? Happy? Sad? Meh?

I got 13 seconds in and had to stop. Spoilerrific intro.
I'm really much more interested in the gameplay than I am a recap of the ending of the first game followed by 20 seconds of teaser cinematic.
