I enjoying the game very much(more than XIII) it's pretty good, areas seem more open the battle system has been tweaked(in a good) the only thing that rubs me the wrong way are the monsters are your 3rd party member...it rubbed me the wrong way in ToS2 but S-E has done a better job this time around. I like the crystarium system in XII-2(though is there a level cap? I only played for about 8-9 hours yesterday and Noel and Serah are already in their 50's)
only thing bad is the story a little hard to follow since you're jumping between timelines
