At first, the whole vehicle summon thing turned me off it a bit. But the more I researched it, the more I liked it.
Then I got the game at a midnight release.
I love this game! The new battle system is SO much better than FF12's. For those who aren't familiar with FF13's battle system, it's like a mix of FF7 and FF12. It's like 12 in that you only have direct control over one character while the others have preset actions. But it does this in a good way. You can set your party with multiple settings and the other members will diligently do as they're set to (like healing). As for the FF7 part, a time gauge fills up before you launch an attack. Mind you, you can set what you want to happen before the gauge fills up, but I still like it.
Oh, right. Can't forget my favorite character. Mine will definitely have to be Hope Estheim (I WANT HIS BANANA!!!). He's a nice kid overall and while he's with Lightning, he really shines through. Plus he's cute.
Take a moment from your day to give your local angst-ridden orphan boy a hug. Preferably before he goes power-hungry and psychotic.
