The theme song is the best--around! Nothing's gonna ever keep it down!

Ah, I also think there's more "story" to explore and felt like there were far more locales XIII could have adventured upon, so maybe XIII-2 could help satisfy this. Then again, X-2 re-used a lot of areas, IIRC, so we'll see.
The other important thing to remember is that another (new, I believe) trailer is out for Versus XIII. I need to track it down, but that game looked very interesting from the little amount of gameplay I'd seen previously. Scanning through comments of various websites, more than one other person seems to agree.
I think I read in a place or two that the release is planned for Japan winter 2011, but maybe not. It shouldn't be too long of a delay for a US release.
I'll be interested to see what they do with it, too. I also wonder how post-FF XIII players will react.
This announcement came as a surprise to me, as I hadn't given it thought, but I'm not surprised that they did this. I'm already a little bummed that the title screen looks like a "dark" lightning versus a "light"ning. No idea what that could mean so my judgments are meaningless, but it already leaves the possibility of it being contrived open. All that said, I'm looking forward to it, anyway.
I think you might like it, yep.
I remember renting this game. I liked it! Your review brought back some memories. I do remember some of the frustrations you listed, but I generally enjoyed the game, too. Not to mention the theme song. BUCK BUMBLE bumble--
Awesome, Nick! I'll be making use of this as well.
I'll be picking this one up as well. This will be the last game in the numbered entries that I haven't played, but it looks like it'll be a good one, at least.
I thought so, too, Nate, about the models being poor. Hopefully it will just be a lot of units being on screen. And good point on version ambiguity.
And haha: it sounds like it just needs to be mentioned in a PB&Jason! Instant controversy, mwahaha.
I fourth Kathrine's motion.
