I say no. This is coming from someone who's purchased, and is really enjoying the game.
I love the game so far, but I loved FFXIII too. I loved the cast, the soundtrack, the world and the story. I'm only 5 or so hours into the game and I already extremely satisfied with my purchase.
Bear in mind however, this game is drastically different from FFXIII in some departments, particularly in world and level design, which are drastically better than FFXIII's; not in the departments you're concerned with, however.
If you hated the story, the music and the characters in FFXIII, and gameplay isn't enough to hook you, then I really can't see you liking this game at all.
So yeah, based on your feelings toward FFXIII, I say steer clear of this game.
