I can never understand why so many people hate FF XIII and/or Lightning so much. Usually the reasons I end up hearing would suggest that they wouldn't enjoy other FF games as well (linear content was found a lot in many FF games, Lightning is very similar to Cloud yet people love Cloud and hate Lightning). I'm thinking it might just be a western audience thing though. Since from what I've read, the XIII franchise is well received in Japan (perhaps why they keep rolling it out).
