I think I'll sit this one out.

I didn't like the way the game carried itself. It was literally 75% movie, and %25 game. Sure, I could, you know, SKIP the scenes of I wanted, but if you're playing through the game for the very first time...you don't want to miss the story. But the story just drags on with 25-minute cutscenes. It's five times worse than FF Tactics. I'll expect more of the same, but I guess I'll rent it to see. Even if it isn't like that (I honestly have no knowledge about how Ep. 2 will be.), I'd imagine completing and understanding Ep.1 will help a lot in understanding this one.

But who knows. I might try to pull myself through Ep. 1 sometime.
