Final Fantasy XIII-2 video and screens do monster mash

Square’s released a video showing the ability to capture monsters for use in future battles in FFXIII-2. This is the first time monsters have been available for use in this way in an FF title. Each monster has a specific role to play in combat, and there are over 150 to collect. And every one of the little guys can be developed and levelled, too.
Below. The RPG ships in Japan today, January 31 in the US and February 3 in Europe.

OMG @0:28 looks so lame like that pokemon digget or something diglet?

First Look at Omega in FINAL FANTASY XIII-2

Following the game’s release in Japan, Omega will be available as a downloadable boss fight. The first screens have been shared today.

For those in the west, this content will be offered as a pre-order bonus. Plans to release it separately have yet to be confirmed.

It resembles FFV's Omega

It seems to me they've taken elements

from the Ogre Battle series, which they own the right to through Enix, Bahamut Lagoon,

which although available as freeware from some online sites was never officially published here in NA, and of course Pokemon.

Yet supposedly you can't recruit the large Adamantoises.

shrugs.

I am looking forward to it although I would have preferred a 3 party team with some of the old characters, or possibly some of the Team Nora characters and then have the monster along as a guest.

We'll see how well it works.
