Final Fantasy XIII-2 Now Integrated With Facebook

Posted on Friday, February 3 @ 11:34:33 Eastern by Keri_Honea


Oversharing on Facebook truly knows no bounds, as Square Enix announced today via press release that Final Fantasy XIII-2 players can now post their Achievements and Trophies directly to Facebook while they play.

In addition, players can upload information on their game progress, including their party setup, Pokemon monsters collected, and battle scores.

From the press release:

Square Enix announced today the ability for players to post achievements and trophies on Facebook® as they journey through FINAL FANTASY® XIII-2, now available at retailers.

For the first time in FINAL FANTASY history, players can keep friends up-to-date with their gaming experience via a direct link to Facebook. Once players are introduced to the Historia Crux, they will have the chance to upload information about their progress: including current party setup, monsters collected, battle scores and more.

Technically, you can already post your Achievements and Trophies via the PSN or third-party clients like Raptr, but I guess the good folks at SE decided that people really wanted "official" postings regarding their game progress. And now you can share your monster collection and battle scores! (Seriously, who asked for this?)

    Hey, at least it's there if you feel like talking about a bad RPG with other people.

    Will there be a review of this on GR? I've been reading the mixed reviews on meta and am thinking I might wait for this one to hit the bargin bin before I think about picking this up.

    I like the new Final Fantasies.... this one sure is getting a lot of hate. Does everyone really care that it's different? Can't everyone just enjoy it for what it is? I had that outlook and that's why I loved XIII

    Everyone can't just enjoy it for what it is, because what it is was not enjoyable to many.

    Let's imagine XIII was not a Final Fantasy, it was a brand new IP from Square. Instead of Odin, it was some non Final Fantasy name, etc. Just, remove the baggage that comes with the Final Fantasy name. Do you still like the game?

    If you answered: I like it now, and I'd still like it if it wasn't FF. Great, I'm happy for you.
    If you answered: I like it now, but maybe if it wasn't a Final Fantasy I'd have not enjoyed it. That's very honest of you.
    If you answered: I hate it now, but if it wasn't a Final Fantasy, I would have liked it because I wouldn't have been do disappointed. Then what damo said applies to you, and you should probably try to get over your disappointment and enjoy it.
    If you answered: I hate it now, and if it wasn't FF, I'd still hate it. Well, then what damo said is irrelivent to you. I fall into the final category.

    Look, it was a game on rails for the first 25 hours. TWENTY FIVE hours of running in a straight line, with lots of story in between, and some RPG style fighting. No exploring, no talking to NPCs. If you wanted to really know what was going on, you were expected to read the very detailed "codex" (can't remember what it was called). I put forward the notion, that if this was anything but a Final Fantasy game, no one would be talking about it. It would just be one in a hundred mediocre RPGs that appealed to some people, and was passed over by others.

    *sigh* Facebook.

    It will be a cold day in hell before I sign up for that service. Guess nobody is going to know my FF13-2 achievements. My heart bleeds.

    "Did people want this?"
    Are you asking about the Facebook integration or the game itself?
