from what i played of it (before playing something else that i dont remember anymore??) it was much better paced and more fun but it was with serah and her space boyfriend or something to that extent
you could summon monsters to fight with you iirc and battles were a lot shorter and paradigms were stronger

no, because 13-2 is piss easy and you can easily autobattle through most of it without even bothering with paradigms.

It's all politics, Mike.

ff13-2 looks way better from what ive seen

you play as serah and noel who is a dude from the bad future and wears parachute pants as permanent party members and the third party member can be essentially any monster in the game as long as you capture them

you also get to put silly hats on your monsters

there is also a lot of time travel and you get to pick what time periods and timelines you want to go to so there is some choice involved

its not fun and the plot payoff is dumb so agreed

unless you plan to play lr because it that final scene where the one yuel who wants to be with noel wins over the infinite number who want to be with cassius because of the power of love or something, and also noel is a giant baby

I'm still playing ff14 but gently caress is it kinda slow. It's pretty okay though where Wildstar and TESO were utter trash.

I kinda want to play The Secret World again but I loving hate its combat system.

the only similarities between dark souls and monhun are slow, deliberate fights against monsters many times larger than you. other than that they are very different
