I want to do my bit to spread the love as well. I love everything mentioned above and am on my second playthrough and loving every minute of it. I think the game is exquisite.

One of the things I am enjoying the most is subtle dialogue referring to plot items yet to be revealed. I am also enjoying weapon/accessory upgrading with the help of my newly purchased guide book - also a lovely item.

I tried to play another game (fairly new release) this weekend just gone and it just seemed crude and uncouth after playing FFXIII.

I can't wait for the next one.
