I just completed Final Fantasy XIII! And I sobbed quite a lot at the ending, I have to say.
I think Final Fantasy XIII has actually managed to beat Final Fantasy VIII for my personal 'Favourite Central Cast in a Final Fantasy Game' title. I absolutely love four of the characters - Lightning, Sazh, Snow, Fang - and even the characters I'm less

I AM SO GLAD YOU LIKED IT AS MUCH AS I DID. I'M SO SICK OF SEEING EVERYONE FILLED WITH LOATHING OR DISAPPOINTMENT. IT IS VERY REFRESHING TO SEE SOMEONE ELSE WHO ALSO LOVED THE THING. (it is also on my favourites list, but that is a weirdly convoluted list with lots of ties haha)

I love XIII for sticking two hard, aggressive women into the same cast and making them central on top of that. (Fang is also cocky like whoa, and Lightning needs to go to a self-esteem building seminar.)

In conclusion: I over-analyze video game characters.

Also, I feel sort of cheated, because when I beat XIII, first my cat interrupted and then I had to pause again (thank goodness they allowed that...) for my brother. And then it is really awkward to just suddenly start sniffling in that situation. BUT AAAUGH the ending was cruel and I was distraught.
That is interesting about your final battle team, though! I had to switch Sazh in, haha! (My main party was Lightning, Vanille, and Fang, and poor Vanille just couldn't keep up with the level of damage being thrown around.)
Oh, man, that song. When I first reached Oerba and saw all the crystal dust and deciphered the lyrics of that song... oof. Horrified ( ... )

Honestly, my main criticism of Final Fantasy XIII is that I'd rather the post-game save allowed you to start a new game without the Crystarium caps, because sometimes I like to overlevel myself ridiculously. Ah, well. But that's an extremely minor gripe! And the Crystarium cap does at least ensure that battles always have to be strategic ( ... )

Aw, they don't allow a super-powered New Game+? Bummer. Still, yeah, not like any of the other main series titles do, either. And I did really like that I never had to worry about whether or not I was leveled up enough to adequately handle boss battles.
(That mission description was so sad! I passed over it, too. But, yeah, those fal'Cie sure are repetitive in their task-handing-out...)

Whoever it is, though, I sort of want to know them.
