OK this new chick is really annoying, she is like the Hom Hom version of Miranda Lawson. But I love Rikki, he is like the mixture of Mordin and Javik. He said smothing so funny I couldn´t stop laughing for about 10 minutes. I gotta say I love this game, haven´t even enjoxed FF XIII so much.

That's because FFXIII isn't anywhere near as good...

And I assume you mean Miss Antiqua? She's a very good character when you USE her, but if you don't, well...

The love story between Shulk and her is quite sweet, and a nice side-story. And she's voiced by the person who'll be the new Dr. Who assistant, and if you've landed THAT role, then you're unbeatable really! 

I like her. Give her a chance. But Riki is just the best character EVER! He IS the Heropon, after all!

I meant this new girl Melia I don´t like her. I don´t understand why everybody is saying that FF XIII was not good I liked it very much, and I liked Lighting she is my favourit Final Fantasy Charackter.

let me throw this out before going into hater mode: Final Fantasy XIII is far from beeing a bad game, the visuals are stunning, and a lot of little details made me chuckle.

BUT.. while i hated on XII for a long time for beeing not a real Final Fantasy (Who am i to judge, i know, but i think you guys catch my meaning - it was just drastically different.. but not a bad game, the gameplay and World was superb, only the story lacked)  but with XIII, you could really see how content and variety was lost due to beeing more shiny. while i do not dislike a game for beeing shortened, i dislike it for the lack of variety.  it was really just fight-fight-fight-fight-scene-fight-fight-fight-fight-scene-repeat ..(Oh and dear god, the battle system.. a.) making placing on the battlefield important, without giving the player the ability to actually change your parties' position: Stupid. / b.) making 70% of the battles semi-automatic (just hit X until u win).. stupid. / c.) giving enemies insta-kill abilities, while a dead leader alone means game over.. meh. / d.) IMO, the "Roles" were far to limited.. even White Mages from FF1 could still "attack".. / e.) there was always "the 1 perfect strategy" for harder battles, meaning that customization caused you to redefine your setup to where the system wants it to be in order to get the 5 stars - and once reached that point, the difficulty becomes non-existent / .. and so on.) there was nothing in between, and this is where especially Xenoblade simply shines - Wide open fields (Something i wouldnt dislike about FFXIII if it offered at least some variety), tons of Sidequests, towns, crafting that is actually fun, a lot of secrets, and beeing able to have your party your own way, with the only requrement beeing that you kinda need to use your brain while optimizing your setup.

PS @ everyone who isnt used to using spoilertags:

when replying to someone, there are 2 Boxes in the upper row of options (where B/I/U is).. click on the one that says "Styles", highlight written text and then choose "Spoiler".

I do not think using Melia's name is much of a Spoiler, but other things are - and we do not want to ruin the fun for others, eh?
