in a dramatic twist of events, I don't hate it yet! Jury's still out, but there are a lot of things I'm liking a lot more than XIII, and a few things that are just as frustrating. Only 5 hours in though, hit my first snag.

The battle system I assume ? , you hated that the most in XIII and it pretty much hasn't changed .

I can't say too much, but the one MAJOR issue I had with XIII's battle system is fixed.  If your party leader dies, you take over the next guy in line.  that alone basically fixes the entire battle system, as 85% of the stuff wrong with the battle system in XIII had to do with stupid game overs.  So far I've encountered only one game over and that was because I ran out of Phoenix Downs in a boss battle, not because of enemy cheapness or my allies refusing to heal me, instead healing themselves.  

There's still little control over the battles beyond picking and timing paradigm shifts, but it's definitely better than XIII.
