Square Enix taught us something with Final Fantasy 13-2

Say what you will about Caius, but by the end of the game I actually found him a better villain than any previous FF game. Unlike everyone else, he wasn't a nameless evil or just some villain out to destroy the world because it was a Friday and they felt like it.

I have to say that first of all, this is very true. X3 So many of the villains anymore are just there and ready to destroy the world with no real explanation. They're just apparently born evil or some wack. Caius, like you said had more human motives. Granted they were flawed and he went a bit extreme but he was unique in his reasoning so it was hard to completely hate him.

Story line wise, I thought it was kinda silly in some parts but that overall it was a good game. Time travel really isn't that new for Square-Enix, it has been used before and very successfully. I do wish they would have had a little bit more mystery to it, or maybe had other problems besides just the paradoxes but I still enjoyed the game regardless. The save the whole world theme is getting kinda old (However much I may enjoy replaying the older games) and something different every once in a while is kinda nice. Even if it is more laid back and cheesy than normal. ;3

There are definitly some things that I wish had been done differently or expanded on, but overall I enjoyed the game. And like Andromeda stated, if you feel you enjoyed it overall then the smaller points don't matter as much.
