There's a good goddamn reason Sazh is coming from the end of Final Fantasy XIII and NOT its sequels (FFXIII-2 and Lightning Returns), because everything after the main game becomes mish-mashy bullshit regarding time travel and gods and betrayal and something or other. I mean, Final Hallway XIII's gameplay was really bad, but I liked it for all the concepts it had in mind; it just executed them all wrong. But of the three games, the first one didn't screw up the most.

Had I known we'd have more than a few fire-using characters, I might've been more tempted to play Snow Villers to balance out the elements a bit, but arguably might've done a bit worse portraying him accurately... at first, at least.
