FF XIII-2 works like Chrono Trigger in that you can get different endings by going back in time and doing things differently with your now stronger party. You could beat up Atlas at full power now, netting you a different ending. Or his Royal Ripeness a second time. That's what closing gates is for.

do the other gates matter? or just those two with the bosses?

No, there are more. Proto Adam is one and most versions of Caius also count. Caius is allegedly a lot harder though.

one last question: how did i miss so many gates in the historia crux? i'm counting 14!

You mean nodes? Some of those just serve as an empty bridge for other time periods. And every paradox ending also has its own node to it.

ah, i see. i guess i'm mostly curious about the three at the far left.
also, i am only renting this game but i am so tempted to buy the lightning DLC.

Thoughts on the game, just because:
- Despite the terrible writing and stupid treatment of time travel, I found myself way more drawn into this game and its characters than I was for XIII. Like, I really want to play XIII-3 now.
- The battle system somehow manages to feel less tedious than before without changing all that much. I enjoyed XIII's battle system a lot until I got to Gran Pulse. I dunno what it was, but something clicked at that point and the entire game started to feel like a chore. The snappier Paradigm Shifts and monster addition are nice; leveling up monsters and fusing them is more fun than it should be, considering how exactly the same most monsters seem to be.
- The music reminded me a bit of Nier at times, and at other times of Persona 3/4. There were also some pretty awesome tracks here and there. I'm a fan.

I don't know what it is about this game, but I enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed FF7-12 on their first playthroughs. I haven't been this drawn into an RPG in a long time.

OH YEAH. There's one thing I'd like cleared up:

MAJOR SPOILERS?




I forget when, exactly, but there's a point where Alyssa gives Mog a creepy look as he's about to enter a gate. What was that about? I was hoping for some crazy twist with her not wanting to get erased from a changed history or something.

Eh, I really don't get all the hate. Sure, it's not an amazing final dungeon, but it's really not all that bad. Better than Academia 400 for sure.

I beat the final boss in like 3 min on my first visit!

But I also like to do everything.

FFXIII-2 is really good.

my final time was something like 24 hours
