I didn't like XIII but this actually looks awesome
Towns - check
Bigger maps - check
Better voice acting - check
Same great battle system - check
The story might still suck but the villain at the end looks great unlike space pope.
XIII-2 may redeem FF after all.
I will be getting XIII-2 day 1 as well because everything I'm hearing about it sounds great so far.
I found summons handy like you said only to refill life in tricky situations, but they weren't useful offense wise which was disappointing for me.

Sorry didn't reply, don't have enough bubbles.
The 2/10 is there as I felt it had absolutely no features apart from a battle system. Look at any ot...
FFX had minigames, towns, NPC's, side quests, arena
That alone bumped its gameplay up to a 7...yes a 7 is what I would give FFX\s gameplay.
Al my opinion though.
The gameplay section is for things like variety and so on.
Really I just wanted the battle system to get a high score for people to realize the battle system is great. If I looped it in with gameplay I'd be giving it a 6.5/10
I actually agree.
I dislike FF12 far more than FF13, at least FF13 had 3 characters I kind of cared about. (sazh, fang, lightning)
