Final Fantasy XIII-2 is launching in Japan next week and the game makers are wrapping up their last round of interviews. Dengeki PlayStation (http://hokanko-alt.ldblog.jp/archives/67136757.html) (via Andriasang (http://andriasang.com/comz7j/ffxiii2_dengeki/)) encountered producer Yoshinori Kitase and director Motomu Toriyama, who talked a bit more about the episodic nature of the game and perks for those who have played the previous game.

If you've got a save file from Final Fantasy XIII (http://www.joystiq.com/game/final-fantasy-xiii) handy, you'll net some bonuses: special monster decorations and a higher success rate at the game's special gambling area. Each episode will be at most three hours, it was revealed, and an auto-saving system will be added for the sequel, though it won't replace being able to save at any time. That would just be silly.

And if you make your way through the whole game and want to take another go, there will be a New Game Plus mode that adds exclusive unlockable items and monster decorations. Monsters really are more festive in Gran Pulse and Cocoon than we remember.http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif (http://www.joystiq.com)FFXIII-2 will have 'New Game Plus' mode, offers bonuses for FFXIII save file (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/12/07/ffxiii-2-will-have-new-game-plus-mode-offers-bonuses-for-ffxi/) originally appeared on Joystiq (http://www.joystiq.com) on Wed, 07 Dec 2011 00:45:00 EST.

New Game + should be a standard feature in pretty much any game ever that involves gaining power over time.

Yeah..already put in my preorder for the Collectors Edition. :D

This game does look fun and with the full soundtrack included in its CE it was hard to pass up. Final Fantasy XIII wasn't my favorite game of the series but I liked the world presented, general battle system, and most of the characters. XIII-2 seems to be making an effort to address the very linear nature of the first game with a dash of Chrono Trigger thrown in. I later picked up the soundtrack to XIII and I like what I hear from its sequel already.
