Final Fantasy XIII-2 coming in January
Square Enix is bringing Final Fantasy XIII-2 to North America in January, just a month after its release in Japan.
Final Fantasy XIII-2 is planned for release in January in North America, according to Siliconera. This puts it roughly a month after the Japanese release, so you won't have to be jealous of the east for too long.
As the first numbered sequel since the divisive dance party Final Fantasy X-2, FFXIII-2 is looking to address some gripes from the first game.
The game allows for more branching paths and exploration, and will include more action elements like a jump button and QTE sequences. And if you missed towns in the first game, rest assured that they'll be returning, with fully-voiced townsfolk to talk to. You'll also be able to recruit monsters.
It's a direct story sequel, so your mileage may vary based on how well you liked the first game's story. It follows Lightning's sister Serah and a new character named Noel, after Lightning is presumed dead. Check out our E3 preview for more details.

X-2 had one of the best combat systems of all the games to date. I could barely stomach the Spice Girls vibe, but the game was different and I still find the hidden dungeon one of the most challenging and rewarding of the series.
If XIII-2 can nail the combat and the variety of gameplay like X-2 did, I can handle the story, whatever it may be. Just please give the girls pants for crying out loud. -
Was almost interested till I saw the blue clown pants and belly shirt fella gameplay shots.
