So give me some concrete reasons why you all have reservations about the game! ^_^
I'm interested in hearing what y'all think and why. (Besides the fact that X-2 sucked ass)

I just don't often like sequels in games. Yeah, Kingdom Hearts did ok in my opinion, but it had a cliffhanger ending so there was room for continuation. I'm just not sure, with the way XIII ended, that there's any way they can make the story Final Fantasy-ish when they've already saved the world from the bad guys. I mean, I hated the storyline on XII because there weren't enough fantasy elements to me - it was mostly political uprisings and such. I just don't really want another one like that.

I'm not a sequel person as well when it comes to games.
Kingdom Hearts has gotten too confusing for me and I really don't care for it anymore. I don't want FFXIII-2 to end up like it.
And X-2 doesn't exist in my mind. Even if it's in my possession. It doesn't exist.
Unless some huge miracle happens, I probably will ignore the game. I want to know more about it but I'm not sold about it yet.

Boo to Stewie somehow erasing the entire message I just wrote. He's sitting here watching me type, so who knows, maybe he'll do it again... ANYWAY. I was saying that when I mentioned KH, I only meant KH and KH2. Beyond that, all the other games confuse me to no end. KH2 was pretty good, but everything else.... And haha, Unger. I feel the same way about X-2. I have it but it pretty much doesn't exist to me anyway. ;D

So I hear 'sequels = crap'.
The only sequel SE did in a FF game is X-2. Yes, their track record is bad. But why go into it with your eyes half shut?
We're LONG past the days of Squaresoft. Square Enix isn't what Square used to be, there's no going back, BUT... if you're gonna play something that came out under SE, then why not give them all a chance?
Let's hope they learned something from X-2, and see what they've got to offer.
I am glad they're choosing to give life to Lightning once again because, IMO, she is THE best heroine SE has to offer. They know that too. They capitalized off FF7; worked that franchise (and Cloud) like a cheap whore, and were successful.
I'm not entirely sure what their plans were initially - but they had so much left over stuff from FFXIII, that they even said they could make another game. Might as well, right?

Yes, that's true. I totally forgot about all the FFVII spin-offs and games and stuff. And from what I understand, most of the other FFVII-related games were pretty good. And I loved Advent Children. I am still leary of FFXIII-2, but I'll take a wait-and-see attitude and not assume it'll be crap.

I'm not completely against the game.
I don't know enough about it it say, I hate it. Or it looks good. I haven't researched much into it. And honestly, I don't plan to. Unless I hear from some of my friends that it's the greatest game on Earth, I probably won't pick it up for a year or two after it is released.
XIII was fantastic, but I don't think it's sequel worthy.
In regards to VII, the sequels for it are amazing and incredible. But I hadn't played the original VII in such a long time that I was wary about the other games.
KH just needs to die. I was confused in the first one and the second one didn't help. I only get more lost with each game. Their fun to play but I don't pay much attention cause I don't want to get more confused.
I honestly don't think XIII-2 will live up to everyone's expectations. It's a sequel. Most sequels just suck, specially when the first one did really good.
Perhaps Sqeenix will suprise me. I don't know.

Seriously? I am AFRAID of the thought of XIII-2. I don't want another X-2. I haven't finished XIII, but I've gotten pretty far and I don't want them to mess it up if I like the ending. I mean the stories are different, yes, but I've been disappointed with direct game sequels more than once. I got excited over FFX-2 since FFX was my favorite game in the world back then (and maybe still now) and FFX-2 was an utter failure in my opinion. Same thing happened with my favorite GCN game, Tales of Symphonia. ToS2 came out and it was TERRIBLE. I know ToS is a BandaiNamco game but both of these games were sequels to games that I loved that ended up being major disappointments. Also, I just wanted to say that I don't want offend anyone if they liked either of those game sequels and that I respect that people have different opinions.
