Demo was awesome; it was way better than anything Tri-Ace, Atlus and NIS dished out in the past two years (it's not like they made anything good in that time-frame imo).
The monster system was a sweet and somewhat addicting feature; I have a feeling I'm going to spend a lot of time leveling those monsters (just like I do in SMT). I normally hate random encounters, but I loved XIII-2's version; you can easily avoid being sunk into a battle.
The only things I didn't like were the QTEs (felt worthless and out of place) and Mog talking.
