Enjoy This Pair Of Final Fantasy XIII-2 Screenshots
A few months ago Square-Enix released a gorgeous trailer teasing that Lighting's story did not conclude with Final Fantasy XIII. We've been hungry for more information since, but today we've got two new screenshots two show off, both including new male party member, Noel.
Here is our first glimpse at gameplay in Final Fantasy XIII-2. Looks like Noel brandishes two blades. It also appears that Noel and Serah will be going it alone for some portion of the game.
The previous screen shows Noel engaging in battle with two swords, but in this screen he's holding a a pink and magenta bow. Could this eventually be wielded by Serah?
Along with the two screens, Andriasang also had this plot synopsis to share, claiming it's straight from Square-Enix:
"Set a few years after Lightning and the others saved Cocoon, some survivors have decided to start over by rebuilding on Gran Pulse. Lightning, however, is nowhere to be found and thought dead by many, but Serah believes otherwise. When her town is suddenly overrun by monsters, a mysterious man named Noel appears to save her. Together, the two set off to find Lightning..."
We mentioned in our Darksiders II cover reveal that we've got an exclusive first hands-on with Final Fantasy XIII-2 in issue #119. So if you like what you're seeing here, be sure to check out that issue to learn more.
