Final Fantasy XIII-2 is a 2011
role-playing video game developed and published by
Square Enix. XIII-2 is a direct sequel to the 2009 role-playing game
Final Fantasy XIII and part of the
Fabula Nova Crystallis subseries. Development of the game began in early 2010 and involved many of the key designers from the previous game. It includes modified features from the previous game, including fast-paced
combat and a customizable "Paradigm" system. The development team wanted to improve on the gameplay of Final Fantasy XIII, while making the story's tone more mysterious and darker than the previous game. The new game's plot features heavy use of time travel, allowing players to jump between different time periods in the same location. The game was first released on the
PlayStation 3 and
Xbox 360, and later ported to
Microsoft Windows,
iOS, and
Android. Final Fantasy XIII-2 received generally positive reviews from critics. The game was the fifth-best selling game of 2011 in Japan, and was followed by a sequel,
Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII. (

The Tales of Hoffmann is an opéra fantastique by the French composer Jacques Offenbach. The French libretto was written by Jules Barbier, based on three short stories by E. T. A. Hoffmann, the opera's protagonist. It was Offenbach's final work; he died in October 1880, four months before it premiered on 10 February 1881 at the Opéra-Comique in Paris. This illustration of the premiere, attributed to Pierre-Auguste Lamy, depicts the opera's prologue (or possibly epilogue).
