So I keep seeing XIII-2 at the game stop for like... $14. I got to pick out two games today and I was thinking about getting this one but...

I looked in the booklet and I saw the ATB bar that looked like XIII and the Auto-Battle was still there. And I JUST finished XIII and I didn't enjoy it too much and after playing it all month, just seeing that Auto-Battle soured me to it.

The time travel aspect interests me. I dunno, is it worth it to pick this up down the line? Is it better than XIII or worse?
