I'll like to go more into dept about why I said what I said.
I love both games. I've played them numerous times and had lots of fun doing so. When I say it's a "girls game" I mean there are no men roles in it. Yeah you got monster collections in the updated PS3 and PS4 versions. Really though Yuna, Rikku and Paine are the main characters. To me it's a girls game but I still played it cause I love final fantasy. I even got three iron dukes in the original which is pretty hard. I've had many playthroughs and I love the battle system. To me though it does lean more towards female community. I don't see how people don't understand that,
To me Final Fantasy XIII-2 is a well balanced game for all audiences. I've spent many playthroughs on it and ended up with everything. The topic is which do I like better. I actually like Final Fantasy XIII-2 more. I don't mean to offend anyone.
