No, XIII-2 doesn't look like it'll be very friendly to newcomers, and the game doesn't seem to very different from the original XIII (which is a very divisive game, though I liked it). The game I think could make a nice splash on the Wii U is Versus XIII, assuming Square-Enix takes that multiplatform. It looks much more contemporary than most FF games, it's fast and action-based, and it visually looks nice. The downside is that by the time it comes out, the Wii U will probably be in its 2nd or 3rd year.
Ok, agreed, but some type of final fantasy.
Sorry, i though i had the quotations marks.
