I played FFXIII and I don't like Serah's POV very much. I think it is generally unconvincing that even though she is untrained in combat, she has instantaneously mastered the art of slaying the crap out of Caius and other monsters with her bowsword, just because "she can fight if she has to". I'm glad they didn't animate her doing any crazy moves, she mostly just uses the weapons in their most basic functions, so it is at least somewhat convincing, but I still never pictured Serah as the type of character to fight. Part of the beauty of her character in 13 was that she was sort of a moral support who was innocent of bloodshed, unlike the other protagonists. They've sort of thrown her character image out the window in exchange for a less convincing one here, much like they did to Yuna in her game's sequel.

Noel is mysterious and seems like he fell out of the Kingdom Hearts universe, but I feel his mystery is more compelling than Serah's contradictory character development.
