Square Enix has released another trailer for their upcoming RPG, Final Fantasy XIII-2. The trailer focuses on the game’s characters, which includes a cast of existing characters from Final Fantasy XIII, as well as new characters.
First, the trailer introduces “The Rivals,” armor-clad Lightning and the dark and mysterious Caius, who wields a sword with an eye in it that slightly resembles Nightmare’s sword from Soul Calibur. The two clash in what appears to be a different realm with floating rock platforms and a pink energy in the sky above them. “The Heroes” — Serah and Noel — are next and shown in in-game combat. After “The Heroes” are “Returning Stars” Hope and Snow. Hope seems to be a bit older than he was in FFXIII, whereas Snow looks different simply because his hair seems to have grown quite wildly since the previous game.
A recent rumor had brought into question if Sazh Katzroy, who allegedly does not appear in the game, could be added via downloadable content.
