I didnt like FF13 either, i though it was really dissappointing. but the director Toriyama has come foward to say that FF13-2 will address the opinions of FF13. so i do respect the man for coming foward and trying to tell the fans he wont let them down with the sequel.
and i'm pretty sure that the changes will be things, like more open world, more customisation with characters, better gameplay (Paradigm Shift got soooo boring after a while), cities and towns (like FF12 style with many NPCs), more depth in mark hunting and a fight with GIlgamesh!!
however the only thing i dont know about is the story and the characters, i felt FF13s story was absolutely abysmal, the and there was so much melodrama, the dialogue was awful because it was a lot of cheesy one-liners. and the reason thats important is because the dialogue and voice acting in Dragon Quest 8 and FF12 was excellent, however i think FF13-2 will be more of the same on that front.
if i do get it, it will be bargain bin. i think the sales of this are going to be so poor, that even the people who claimed FF13 was a good game will not be able to deny how bad everyone else thought it was.
