Anyone who has played Final Fantasy 13, is coming along very well with the story of 13-2. Many things have already occurred in the 13er were not again specially mentioned here, how is this a matter of taste. I found it a bit of a shame. In this story, the search of Serah is Lightning to the fore with Noel's story and urge to save the future. An characters was very saved, but it's nice to see old friends from FF 13 again. The story I find personally appealing, the old enemy has been replaced by a new opponent from which is not quite clear whether he's a good guy or the bad ones. The stark future changes I personally find amazing and interesting, it is a pleasure for small quest through time to travel. The Monster-combatants are a sweet idea, I fight like my Chocobo :)
All in all, the game addictive, but I think the characters are for people who do not know the size 13, very unkind. On the other hand, one can better empathize with Noel, the example Snow holds a pesky Liar Liar. :) As Serah but is also the main character, I would have liked to see more references to the friendship among all. But all in all the game gets to me as a worthy successor to 5 star. :)
