Why on earth is Hope a little kid again? All of XIII-2 was seeing him all grow'd up, and he was awesome. He was basically Pulse's unofficial president by the end of XIII-2 for crying out loud, with all the respect and connections you'd expect that to entail. When I heard he'd have an earpiece into Lightning's head, my reaction was "well, no duh. Who else would I want there?"

Now he's lost 10-15 years and is the little kid from XIII again? I'm sorry, but that change is going to be a tough sell.

Beg to differ on the last part. If you ripped out the infamous three word closure it wouldn't have been a cliffhanger at all and would have wrapped up its own affairs neatly.

Sarah was shown in the E3 trailer

It's supposedly not Serah. She's called Lumina lol

Do you believe that.

I loved Fang, she's one of the only non-annoying characters in FFXIII. Also, she kicks ass in battle and since the battle system is the redeeming factor in FFXIII, that made me love her even more.

Yeah sadly the best team in FFXIII were all three girls together -.-

Me: but I wanna use Lightning all the time forever and alwaaays! D:

*Looks at Lightning Rreturns* ...Yeah :p

That's a really forced way to elevate her. SE really fell in love with character and will make sure everybody else does too.
