Final Fantasy XIII-2 is a JRPG developed by Square Enix in collaboration with tri-Ace. It is a direct sequel to Final Fantasy XIII.
The game was originally released in 2011 on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and later ported to PC in 2014.
The PC port features support for high resolution rendering, 60 FPS, higher resolution shadows, better anti-aliasing, and higher quality audio. Additionally, most DLC is included in the base game (details here) and the Japanese voice-over is available worldwide for the first time.
Despite improvements, the port suffers from some issues: alpha channel textures of objects are not considered when shadows are casted, unstable frame rate caused by the aggressive frame pacer (see FF13Fix for a fix), and missing transparency from the rain effect.
