I haven't played any FF games (for shame, I know!) but I did [i]start[/i] 13. I found it to be kinda…tedious. The combat was weird and it felt like the entire setting was one long hallway, you know? I dropped it, cause I didn't like having to read the codex for everything lol. That said, I really like Lightning. I think she's pretty cool, and I love the fact that she has no romance in the game. 

Fuck Snow, though. Like seriously.
