If you disliked XIII, why did you play XIII-2? I don't understand Final Fantasy fans. It's like they want to be disappointed, so they can complain about being disappointed.

I got a free copy of the game. I enjoyed the demo and Square had made a lot of promises about fixing the problems of FF13. I also enjoyed the end-game of 13 and the gameplay but just hated the pacing, writing and characters. I enjoyed the game side of FF13-2 but not the narrative. The narrative is a disgrace. However now I have completed it I can just enjoy doing the sidequests, hard monsters etc. At least with 13-2 they fixed the pacing. They just somehow managed to have worse writing. Characters were a slight improvement I think, even though they are still poorly written. Noel is at least quite likeable.
Also I have been a big fan of FF for a long time. The only big bumps in the road being X-2 and XIII. When I played a good demo and saw reviews hitting the 80% or so mark I figured it couldn't be that bad. And it's not. As a whole the game is okay. Personally I would say somewhere around a 6/10.
My issues are with the writing. That's two games in a row that Square has had awful writing and characters. It says a lot that when playing ME2 and old characters popped up I thought ''OMG! Yay I hope they stick around'' whereas when playing 13-2 and old characters popped up I thought ''Oh god, please no. Just go away quickly please''
Square need to abandon the entire 13 world. Hire some people who can actually write and get cracking on new games.

this, I feel the same way, it was pretty obvious that the story was not planned, they just threw some crap together from the leftovers. The worst part is that they are making another. I dont know if they just want to use it all for cost sakes, they are too lazy to start something new or they are forcing us to like 13. but wth, SOME PEOPLE LIKE IT
