Then we have diverged opinions about Square-Enix ;) In fact in the past four years i've played tons of great RPG from them, going from Final Fantasy XII to Dissidia (it's more of a fighting game, but has tons of RPG elements as well, and you can actually play it RPG command style).
Plus, they're launching the next Parasite Eve and the next Lufia, so they have returned to my most beloved producer spot once again xD
Out of all characters from FFXIII, the one that I still don't know whether if will like or not is Snow, but it's too early to draw conclusions. In Final Fantasy XII Basch and Gabranth didn't seem as much of as good characters at the start but in the end their story and the story of their blood feud blew me away.
I don't know if Lightning will become a popular character of not, it will depend on a lot of factors, even by the success of the actual game itself.
