Other bosses will be different but the whole process is too repetitive.  I've also thought about the whole 50+ garbs.  When playing the demo, I thought that there was really no reason to play as any of the other classes than the ones with the best stats and best locked abilities that you preferred.  Skills aren't leveled up by fighting with certain garbs equipped and any skill that isn't locked can be switched to any other garb.  Choose your three favorites and your favorite skills and stick to them.  So unlike the traditional Final Fantasy class system, the whole changing garb mechanic isn't as in depth as it seemed to be prior to its release.  It makes Lightning Returns less an RPG and more a action adventure that plays similar to an RPG.

And pretty much that is why LR is a much bigger change to the series than XIII was.

Even though it doesn't improve my outlook on the game I am more motivated now to enjoy it, just to prove that change doesn't affect my love for the series as much as it did other's.

That's just blind devotion.  You should care about change because it's a good game, not to say "I'm more of a fan than you are" or reassure yourself that you're still a fan of the series.  Breath of Fire 5, Wild ARMs 4, Mega Man Legends,  Castlevania 2, etc.  They all introduced major changes into their respective series, but I enjoyed the games because they were good, not necessarily because I'm a fan of the series.  Even Dirge of Cerberus is a good game and that's the biggest change Final Fantasy has seen.  Despite what people say about it, it's a great game.  It receives a lot of hate because it's a Final Fantasy title that's completely different than the rest of the series rather than a low quality title.

Why is necessarily blind devotion? If he liked the changes introduced in FF games, then it's not really blind. He's looking forward to innovation in the series, how it that a bad thing? Whether the changes are good or not is to be determined.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

I ain't your mother, I'm not gonna motivate you. If you don't want to play it then don't play it.

Perfection.

OT: Lightning. Seriously, your reason is in the title. She's too cool for school.

If you can't force yourself consult others to help you force it :)

Reread what's bolded.  Doesn't have anything to do with liking changes made.  He made it clearly obvious, even in this post that he doesn't like the changes the game made and isn't satisfied with how the game plays, but he'll enjoy it to prove he's a fan of the series.  Don't see how you can force yourself to enjoy a game.  Maybe force yourself to play a game and try to believe you like it, but you probably don't.

Actually the implications are far worse. If you play a game 14 times and liked it and then suddenly stop liking it something is really wrong, either with you or the game. It's like waking up one day and realize you don't love your wife anymore after 14 years of marriage.

Don't buy it, not worth it at 60 bucks.

It's kind of like how I consume a lot of my entertainment. Ultimate entertainment is not necessarily the goal for me. It's more for the new experience. It helps though if it is a lot of fun. That's why I finished a lot of animes I didn't like. Sometimes I was even surprised by a good ending and could appriciate the little things even though they did not overweigh the bad stuff.

I can't force myself to enjoy something but I can try to have the most positive attitude about it as possible. It won't cloud my final judgement but it makes the ride more enjoyable.

But I think it's getting too philosophical now.

there is no relationship without any kind of issues, if you really love her, one misstep is not gonna change that
