FFXIII: I DID NOT WANT TO LIKE THIS GAME

I've avoided paying any attention to the news on FFXIII, because I didn't expect to have any opportunity to play it, and I didn't think any game could possibly top FFXII in terms of being awesomely good for me. I was just completely uninterested in it. Alas, now that I've actually played some of it, I am *anguish hands* all over at the fact that I won't be able to play it again for a while- I am hooked.

Preliminary thoughts on the portion of Final Fantasy XIII that I have had the privilege to play:

Mild spoilers up to Chapter 10; I can't really comment on the plot because I am TOO CONFUSED, and serious spoilers have been redacted. )

Hilariously, because I jumped into the game at Chapter 6 with no knowledge of anything that had come before, reading other people's reactions to the early game now is something of a revelation. I keep going "Ohhhh, you mean [plot point] was supposed to be all earth shattering and surprising? THINGS MAKE SO MUCH MORE SENSE NOW."
