Because I hate negative nancies! Post the things you love most about FFXIII here, and share the joy.

--Minor Spoilers--

I love the way the games opens up in Chapter 11. I spent ages this morning exploring the ins and outs of a couple of places, and discovered locations I didn't even think you could get to! I also love the way you can change party members freely now, and they make their comments at things randomly. I was walking to a mission when Sazh got worried about a high drop, and Snow comforted him. Whether the two lines were supposed to go together or it was coincidence, it was still great and immersive.

I also love the characters. Lightning is the first protagonist I actually liked more than the companions. Fang is simply badass, and Vanille has depth. Hope develops more than anyone, Snow is badass (sometimes) and Sazh is basically awesome and has a really sad story for such a cool dude. On top of that I love the battle system and how it is extremely fast paced yet still very tactical.

What do you guys love?
