Considering I never really cared much about Lightning in the first two games this Lightning only thing may push me back on getting this game right away. Don't like the negative trend we're getting in terms of party members decreasing dramatically. First one had a solid roster, then it was just 2 characters + a monster, and now just Lightning.
Plus what does the set hundreds years after FFXIII-2 mean anyways? That game took place over so many timelines you could place this new game anywhere and it'd be hundreds of years before or after something . So I'm mixed on this. Suppose trying something different is needed if SE is going to avoid falling apart. For whatever reason not super hyped, but will wait and see.

It's because they're great that it makes the FF7 re-release even more baffling. They didn't even try and instead hoped that devoted fans would just buy the game again for an easy cash grab. Had they put in a little effort than this wouldn't be an issue. Just re-releasing it after people can already get the old version from multiple sources is just a blatant and cruel cash grab.
Seeing as this if FF7 I expected them to care a bit more than just that. |

Square seems to be wanting to step up Lightning x Hope after all, due to the stop aging them it longer matters that Lightning was older and treated Hope as a little brother. Personally I find that kinda strange but it's Japan so I've come to expect things like this.

Eh? Lightning wasn't already lovely? I hope this doesn't mean they're gonna throw her in a ballroom dress later, I doubt the fans would accept her not being a badass that wears the pants/shorts.

No, I don't ship Lightning with anyone. She needs no man to hold her back.
There's no one else and they specifically mentioned Hope after Lightning is set to get her happy ending. It's pretty obvious what they were alluding to and if it doesn't happen than those that ship that pairing, despite the implications, are going to riot. Shippers, after all, tend to be most vocal and most profitable if lead on correctly. |

I'm sayin this purely out of the joke so don't flame me for it.
"Lightning doesn't strike twice in the same spot, and god knows it shouldn't strike 3 times" Spoiler for If you dont get the half assed joke, look here >_>:

Anyway, I'm not too vocal about them either compared to back in XIII. I still wanted them to happen though, but I don't mind even if she doesn't end up with anyone at all. ..I'm really worried about the gameplay time here to complete the main story. One of my gripe in XIII-2 is that the story is just way too short (and also the enemies are way too easy). I hope they make the right choice about this

Yeah not too focused either way on the HopexLightning stuff, mostly since I never cared much about either during XIII .
I do hope this combination of gameplay changes will turn out alright and not be just a big disaster. Don't like how short the game sounds or having to watch the clock while playing.

Well, to think that lightning will become sweeter in this title, she will become sweeter to hope too but as i said, i would prefer an another man or a new character in this title. He doesn't need to be playable unless they would do a DLC. Oh and even if it does, i hope they would do the romance part right xD
To be fair, i think the main problem in FFXIII is the linear world? The gameplay is at least fine or good, for me at least. |

For me, the largest problems of both games were the teeth-shreddingly cheesy melodrama and the painfully awkward dialogue. I don't expect 13-3 to change either of these.
