Race Chocobos At Xanadu, Final Fantasy XIII-2′s Massive Casino

By Spencer . October 24, 2011 . 9:30pm



As a throwback to past Final Fantasy games, Final Fantasy XIII-2 will have a mini-game filled casino. Stop by Xanadu, that’s the name of the place according to Dengeki PlayStation, to play slots and race chocobos.

The magazine also outlined the Labyrinth of Time, a system which we saw with Square Enix back at E3. Final Fantasy XIII-2 has puzzles with tiles that vanish after you step on them. Players have to find a path to the goal without stepping on too many tiles. I played one of these puzzles back at E3 (before the system was named) and it was easy enough to solve by running in a loop. Some Labyrinth of Time mazes will be part of the game’s main scenario while other harder puzzles will be optional.

We also have a tidbit about Sazh. He’s confirmed to be in the game and working on improving Gran Pulse.

Sounding good to me as always.

Xanadu is interesting. Im also glad that they are actually making a whole new place instead of reusing nautilus from the previous game. While I'm quite sure they may use nautilus map structures and design as reference for this new place, it's good that they are not blatantly saying 'hey we recycled this place like it or not.'

Yay for Sazh. I hope he has a major role.

The time labyrinth thing is temporal rift in Japanese I guess. Seeing from the trailer, we will also have clock puzzles and some crystal linking puzzles. Good to hear that the optional puzzles are harder, serving as a challenge if you want extra stuff.
