Message: [QUOTE="Somnia, post: 101477, member: 26523"] The game has tons of fans so clearly it did something right. Design wise they're all appealing and I do feel like the world of Gran Pulse is a very appealing and exciting world to inhabit. The lore is interesting even if a lot of it isn't explored optimally in the first game so I actually had some fun diving into the text logs and what not. As for characters, while even a lot of fans hate him i did love Hope quite a bit. Hell I'd put the supporting class above most JRPGs in terms of depth even if several of them hit on pre-existing cliches a fair amount. I loved Sazh's brand of goofiness and I do think Lightning's arc in XIII is subtle yet effective, with the sequels taking her character in some super interesting directions imo. Snow's arc in particular is super interesting even if I think most of it happening in the sequels is a big mistake. He's my least fav of the XIII bunch alongside Vanille but I don't entirely hate them or anything (though I didn't really appreciate Vanille until my second playthrough, I spent at of my first disliking her). That's why I say it'll either hook you or it won't. I wouldn't even put the story or cast in my top 5 favorite mainline FF games but I did enjoy what was there. [/QUOTE]
