The FINAL FANTASY XIII–2 demo takes place in Bresha Ruins, with new character Noel and returning character Serah pitted against a gigantic and powerful adversary called Atlas.

The brand–new Paradigm Pack System is also available in the demo, giving players the opportunity to enlist defeated enemies into their party and develop them alongside Serah and Noel.
"The demo provides an excellent opportunity for players to try out the evolved battle system and fully explore an entire area of the game," said Yoshinori Kitase, producer of FINAL FANTASY XIII–2. "We are very pleased to give our fans the chance to see the multitude of game improvements for themselves."
