New FFXIII-2 Details Emerge

Japanese gaming site, 4Gamer.net, revealed some new information about the sequel today. Thanks to Google translate, I was able to grasp a little bit of what was going on. It was a really poor translation so bare with me!

Here is some of what was revealed in the article:

Chocobos

– Just like in previous Final Fantasy games, when you ride a Chocobo, you will avoid all combat.

– You will be able to talk with them

– Riding Chocobos allows you to go places where you wouldn't normally be able to without one

Other Information

– You will have up to four choices when responding to a conversation.

– 'Blood Damage' is a new type of combat handicap that, when it occurs, lowers your HP pool permanently until you use a specific item to erase the effect.

– You will be able to rename your monster allies.
