Gorgeous new Final Fantasy XIII-2 screens show off Chocobos, intense battles and more

โ€œWhy does mankind defy its fate?โ€

FINAL FANTASY XIII-2 is currently in production with an aim for producing high quality game content which exceeds FINAL FANTASY XIII in every aspect; namely, a brand-new story which stems from the previous title as well as a battle system which has evolved further since โ€œXIIIโ€ โ€“ and more.

Story:

Cocoon โ€“ a utopia in the sky.
Its inhabitants believed their world a paradise.
Under the Sanctumโ€™s rule, Cocoon had long known peace and prosperity.
Mankind was blessed by its protectors, the benevolent falโ€™Cie, and believed that tranquil days would continue forever.

Their tranquillity was shattered with the discovery of one hostile falโ€™Cie.

The moment that falโ€™Cie from Pulse โ€“ the feared and detested lowerworld โ€“ awoke from its slumber, peace on Cocoon came to an end.

Falโ€™Cie curse humans, turning them into magic-wielding servants.

They become lโ€™Cie โ€“ chosen of the falโ€™Cie.

Those branded with the mark of a lโ€™Cie carry the burden of either fulfilling their Focus or facing a fate harsher than death itself.

A prayer for redemption.

A wish to protect the world.
A promise to challenge destiny.

After thirteen days of fates intertwined, the battle begins.
