Final Fantasy XIII-2 Ending Review (Spoiler Warning!)

Since you all seemed to like my post on Mass Effect 3’s ending (spoiler warning there, too!), I thought I might go over Final Fantasy XIII-2’s ending as well, since in many ways it parallels what ME3’s ending did for its story. No, this is not a full review…if you want my opinion on the game itself, then here it is: Final Fantasy XIII-2 is possibly the best game in the series since 2002’s Final Fantasy X. I’m not sure if I would give it a perfect score as Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu did, but it would certainly come very close. And in terms of Final Fantasy sequels, this being one of only two thus far, XIII-2 far outdoes X-2, no doubt about it. That said, we are here to discuss the game’s surprising ending, which has deservedly drawn a lot of attention from gamers and critics alike. But is it as much of a blunder as that of Mass Effect 3? Find out after the jump (and after finishing the game yourself, if you haven’t already, so nothing will be spoiled! You have been warned!)
