Still the same cheesy storyline
I don't know about you,but i didn't like the storyline. Too cheesy and girlish for my taste (not that i'm being sexist,but i do think some elements should be removed in order to further bolster the role of Serah as a strong protagonist,rather than stereotyping her as being too dependent on others).
Graphics wise,the game is great looking. The first few hours of the game where you're near the beach really reminds you of FFX,and that's beautiful. But don't get me started on the battles. It's the same button mashing bonanza as in FF13,a sure snoozefest for those who likes to strategize. Can never play over an hour before giving up and doing something else.
All in all,if you liked the first one,get it. But if you're looking for something better,better wait for Versus.
