Hope Estheim Back in Final Fantasy XIII-2

Guess who's back with a boom(erang)?

Hope Estheim, one of the main characters in FFXIII is featured in a scene from the latest leaked trailer of FFXIII-2. He is seen wearing a yellow-themed coat with longer sleeves this time around. His facial appearance also seemed to have matured a bit.

It's the scene where Noel and Serah are in a pinch. Just when things are starting to turn sour, Hope throws his signature weapon, a boomerang on the enemy. Does this mean Hope will join Serah and Noel in their quest for Lightning and become a playable character in the sequel? Only time will tell.
