Final Fantasy XIII-2

Anyone pick it up? I got through the opening scene (awesome visuals btw, and Lightning is hawt) and had to save and turn it off. My brother warned me that going past the opening scene will spoil XIII for me, since I haven't finished it.

He's been playing lately and he said it's a LOT more fun than XIII ever was. And all the reviews I've seen of it hold it in high regard. Famitsu mag gave it a perfect score. I'm pretty excited to play the rest of the game, but for now, I really need to finish XIII.

^ Same... I stopped playing the first at the Ship where the stupid alarm is going off in the background... got so annoyed that I never got back to playing it.

BUT, I did pick up XIII-2 and put in a few hours. General impressions:

Seems like the fight sequences are alot easier... you can pretty much auto battle through most fights (still need to paradigm shift appropriately).

Nice to be finally able to go back to prior zones - I don't even know if you could do this in the first or if I never got far enough in FFXIII to do that. But there are side missions making it worthwhile to go back to old zones.

And I personally find Serah annoying... WTB Lightning... who will be a playable character via DLC coming out in the near future.

I still haven't even played the first... Maybe if I can find a new copy for cheap, I'll pick it up.

EDIT: FF13 for $15 on Amazon...

I agree that Serah can get a lil annoying but its not as bad as Hope in XIII. If i had to use Hope, i would let him die and not revive him.
