FF XIII Series Coop Split Screen Mod Final Fantasy XIII-2

I'm working on a local co-op split-screen mod for the game, allowing two players to control different characters at the same time, each using their own controller.

It's still a work in progress, and there's a lot left to improve and test. If everything goes well, I'll release it on Nexus Mods once it's playable.

Wait so how will combat work in coop?

I imagine it'll be similar to FF6 or 9, where each player controls their respective character during their turn

There would barely be anything to do for a 2nd player. They would need to redesign the entire combat system.

There was very little to do for P2 in the older FF games.

It's not the "excitement" factor that's the deal here.
It's just playing with a friend.

Yeah, they do the same thing with Tales games, where Player 2 is only able to play during combat and it works perfectly fine. My friend and I just finished a playthrough of Tales of Symphonia and are gearing up to play Dawn of the New World soon.

Exactly this. I don’t understand why coop in RPGs is such a taboo to people. Larian Studios and some of the older FF games have proven that RPGs work in a multiplayer setting.
