Square Enix has dished the dirt on a new system for Final Fantasy XIII-2 called Historia Crux. It will be a time travel system that allows you to visit different space-time locations in the game.

Motomu Toriyama, the game's director, believes the system is quite similar to a traditional "home menu". In other words, it will be at the core of the game's story, but it will also allow you to visit other areas from previous parts of the game.

Further to this, depending on choices you make throughout the game, you will be able to access different parts of the Historia Crux. This is how you'll be able to access side quests and the various secrets the game has in store for us. It will also be a key element in uncovering the game's multiple endings.

"The flow of areas accessible via Historia Crux has been structured so that all of the player's actions and decisions will influence the gameplay," said Toriyama.

One final point! Due to the time travel nature of the game, and the fact the original cast will be returning, you will be able to experience how they change over time - maybe we'll get to see old man Hope?
