I'm another one that thoroughly enjoyed FFX-2. The combat in the game is still one of my favorites from the series and I knew going in that it was going to be a lighthearted, pleasant romp rather than the super depressing tale from FFX.

I'll agree that it does feel like they are pandering or doing it for extra sales. While not a fan, I can look past it and play the game that is there. There are admittedly other games I'm more excited and looking for to than Lightning Returns, but I plan on getting it day one and playing it to platinum. The core of the game is still going to be enjoyable from everything I've seen. I can ignore cosmetic changes.
