Final Fantasy XIII-2 To Challenge Players with More Difficult Boss Battles
Siliconera, via Dengeki PlayStation’s cannibalized story, has revealed to the world on how difficult bosses are in Final Fantasy XIII-2. According to the main sources (Square Enix’s Motoru Toriyama and Yusuke Matsui) of the recent gameplay update, bosses of Final Fantasy XIII-2 will pose more of a threat than Final Fantasy XIII’s storyline bosses and Gran Pulse’s population of over-sized breasts.
If players find themselves overwhelmed or unable to progress through the main storyline because of the augmented battle skills of the sequel’s bosses, they can always resort in toning down the game’s difficulty level, setting it to Easy. What’s the point of feeding these bosses with virtual steroids if the players themselves can shrink their danger levels? Additionally, Final Fantasy XIII-2 would become the first entry to the Final Fantasy saga to implement an interchangeable difficulty setting.

Is There Anything Terrifying Than The Neochu?
The Neochu is a mutated, more dangerous version of the normal Ochu. Found atop waiting at Gran Pulse’s open canyon, Neochu is proficient in inflicting almost all known negative status effects to combat participants unprotected with the right accessory. Flanked by the equally hard-hitting Picochus, the Neochu is definitely one of the most difficult sidequest bosses that Lightning and her comrades will face in the forsaken, monster-populated fields of Gran Pulse. Can Final Fantasy XIII-2 outmatch the challenge? Or is this overestimating on Toriyama and Matsui’s part?
Shifting Between Paradigms Is Not an Update
According to the English translation of Dengeki PlayStation’s recent Final Fantasy XIII-2 update: “Players can now switch instantly between Paradigms. This will help out with the pacing during the game’s basic battles, as the focus for these is on speed. For the bosses and tougher rare monsters, however, you’ll need to actively and strategically switch between Paradigms or you won’t win.”
Frantically switching between stored Paradigms is not new at all.
