Very few of the other entries in the series would have a thread like this. Why is it that everybody's first instinct is to ask "okay so what didn't suck?" The game is far better than you lot seem to give it credit for, and damn near all the actual fans keep their mouths shut because they fear some ungodly judgement for enjoying a game for what it is worth instead of seeing it as a failed attempt to meet some imaginary guidelines established by its place within a series. If Final Fantasy XIII wasn't a main instalment then you lot probably wouldn't have said boo about it being bad. You'd've said "it's not a main instalment so it's a) not worth my time; or b) not bad for a spin off." Instead everyone comes in here ragging on trout and the couple of people who like it and aren't afraid to stick their head out of the grass are forced to salvage it. Maybe we should try and be truly positive about things instead of facetiously so.
