I hate Vanille and Hope. Sazh's constant whining is rather funny. Snow should've been the main character. Lightning is a bitch. The story seems to be a weak excuse to move you from place to place, but the characters are well-written. The linearity is crippling. Overall, it seems to be a much weaker game than XII.

Also, I can guarantee that half the guys who play this game will instantly try to look up Lightning's skirt the moment they get control of the camera. Just saying.
