What should I buy? I've thought about getting FF XII-2 because I loved XIII, but I'm afraid it might be like X-2. Thoughts?
Escapist, I've found a gamestop card with $25 on it.

FF XIII-2 has a mildly improved combat system and it's a little more open-ended, but it's also a bullshit unnecessary continuation of FF XIII's story that ignores most of XIII to introduce terrible characters and all sorts of thoughtless story elements. If you really liked XIII, you'll like it (I liked it just fine), but it's a step sideways rather than forwards.Fiery Killer said:
In place of FF XIII-2, I'd go with Tales of Vesperia or Tales of Graces (depending on Xbox/PS3). Fun fast paced combat paired with nigh-unintelligible plot but fun casts and lots of side questing. Otherwise, XBLA/PSN cards?
I have everything but a 3DS and Vita. And oh, I can buy a steam card. I shall consider that. Browsing steam store now.Matthew94 said:Do they still sell N64 games? Get Star FoxFiery Killer said:
Maybe you could get a $25 steam card?
Nah nah nah, what platforms do you play on?
Well that's good to hear. X-2 really let me down after X, I'll take a look at those two games to see if they're interesting. Haven't played console in a long time.Launcelot111 said:

If you want to get XIII-2 and are not sure if it's better, then why not watch a let's play for the first few parts? That's what I usually do before purchasing a game. And I have XIII-2, I much prefer it over XIII. I found it funner and I still play it for all the achievements.
FFXIII-2 is a really good sequel to FFXIII. I liked the original but I thought the sequel was a lot better. It feels like an apology for all the stuff Square Enix did wrong with the original.
The story has been cleaned up a lot and has a lot less melodrama. It is a lot smaller in scope, but feels more personal as a result. The Historia Crux time travel mechanic makes the story a lot more palatable than you might think. It doesn't have an ending, but it's a good way to spend 30 hours.
The gameplay is just a twist on FFXIII's, it gets mighty repetitive, but if you like it you'll enjoy the combat. The game is easy as pie though, which makes it less interesting than it could have been if SE introduced a scaling difficulty mechanic or just made it more challenging in general.
Just know that like in FFXIII, the game runs out of steam in both the story and gameplay towards the end, so you might have to push through a little boredom to reach the end. I'd recommend getting it.

Black 2!? you mean there's a sequel to the awesome shooter that was black!!!soren7550 said:
OT: i agree with the people saying get a steam card, you will probably get more for your money
Hey! Buddy!
Don't waste your money on Final Fantasy!
If you got a PS2 or PS3, get Persona 3: FES. It's much better than any FF. Except FF3. FF3 was the shit.
...
Or return it because that's the good thing to do. Or whatever.

O_O You not recommending to get Persona 4? Who are you, and what have you done with neonsword?neonsword13-ops said:
OT: Get Persona 4 or Rogue Galaxy. Both totes awesome.
Gamestop huh?
Battletoads.
You might want to ring them and see if they have it in stock first.

P3 is cheaper. And it's just as good.

MY COVER HAS BEEN BLOWN!!
Because a non-descript money voucher is really easy to trace the original owner.I Have No Idea said:
I know what you're saying, but it's not like a bank card where the owners name is on. It would be pretty dam impossible to do.
It's not like I picked it up from an abandoned table in the mall, I found it under the old bed in my house and is likely something I lost a long time ago.I Have No Idea said:
Yessss, someone else who favors FF3. I'll look into P3, I've never played that series, but I likely won't get P4 right now simply because it's fresh out with a $60 tag and I can't afford right now without giving up Pandaria.neonsword13-ops said:
