The battles are... a bit more entertaining than XIII`s. I guess I can give you that.
The crystarium was never good to begin with, so there is little you can ruin. It might as well have had a linear leveling system for all the good the crystarium did.
Both stories sucked quite a lot to be honest. In 13 you had to read an entire encyclopedia to even understand the basic vocabulary in the writing, and the story was just an overall mess. In 13 the characters were unrealistic, whiny, and just bland with a ton of forced character development that felt all but natural.
The DLC had gilgamesh, and he was still awesome in 13-2, so I have to disagree just because of that.
The music wasn't for me at all though, I do agree with you there.
