Sage's E3 Picks: Final Fantasy XIII-2

After spending half of May working on the original game, Final Fantasy XIII has grown on me. So this trailer, which is over two minutes long and provides us with a look at both at both the cinematic and gameplay of this new game, is of interest.




It bothers me that it doesn't seem like they tweaked the battle system too much...but the game does look gorgeous, and in that armor Lightning looks super-cool. It's interesting to be following the game now from Serah's perspective too, since she's such a 180 from Lightning's character, but I can deal with that since both will be in the game.

Hopefully Square-Enix will recognize and alter the flaws fans complained about to create a superior game here, and we can enjoy a proper Final Fantasy game on the current-gen consoles.

Bottom of the Pile: Apr. 8, 2015

Astro City As usual, Kurt Busiek's Astro City is creatively solid--following a superhero who's made his home on an alien planet, and has to learn to accept when it's time to hand the job over to the next generation.  It's almost the opposite of what happened with Crackerjack and Quarrel.  That said: I've been a denizen of the interwebs for nearly two decades now, and this still might be a strong contender for grossest sexual advance ever.
