Final Fantasy XIII-2

Final Fantasy XIII-2 is the sequel to Final Fantasy XIII developed by Square Enix for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and later released to Microsoft Windows PCs via Steam. It is a part of the Fabula Nova Crystallis series and does not have the light-hearted tone of Final Fantasy X-2. Note that the release of Final Fantasy XIII-2 outside Japan does not include Japanese interface or subtitles support.

Storywise, the game focuses on a goddess in the Fabula Nova Crystallis story named Etro. Lightning was confirmed to be in the game prior to E3 2011.

In the E3 2011 trailer, two other playable characters were shown: Serah, Lightning's sister and an NPC in the first game, and a young man named Noel. The paradigm system from Final Fantasy XIII was also shown.
