13-2 will have quick time events, but apparently if you mess them up you won't suffer a huge penalty. Clearing them grants only subtle benefits.

This time around the Crystarium growth chart does not limit the progress of characters. So, you can make yourself super powerful from the start.

And you can now switch your currently controlled character during battle. Battles do not end when your party leader dies, either.

Okay, now I might be a little interested.

The Party Leader thing is good.

Prolly gonna get this, replayed though 13 and finally going to beat it.

Just pre-ordered the collectors edition strategy guide.

Crystal & Collector's editions of the game both unavailable though? (Amazon UK)

They have the Collectors Edition at Game but I really want the Crystal...

Edit: Limited Collector's Edition is available now, so I've ordered that. Will swap for Crystal if/when that appears...

Destructoid Review is up.
Very detailed, highly informative.

I'm going to wait for other fan reviews before I decide whether or not to buy, but this one is pretty good.

It's got final fantasy on the cover. That's all I need to know.

My copy should be waiting for me at home! (stupid work)

My 10 year old son already finished the demo. I haven't really had much of a look at it except Serah looks mighty fine.

Wow.
Just...wow.

Yeah I'm not buying these games anymore and am convincing myself that the series ended with 10 cause I consider 10-2 and 12 the beginning of the end.
