Tomorrow in the evening one of my shops will have it. Then I buy the german version. I already know Final Fantasy XIII and have it but of course I do understand my native language better than japanese, but my opinion about the characters is almost the same as yours except Vanille and Sazh who are not so funny everytime because they have to worry about enough things - Vanille more than Rikku and what Dia Vanille and Yun Fang do is sad and heroic, not to forget I know the rest of them (Yun, Serah, Dajh, Cid, Yaag, Jill, Dysley) but with my new version I will write a lot more here, so I will edit this post tomorrow and add some screenshots as well.
