Same old same old, but with a poke-moogle

Ok so i did'nt really like FF13 because of a few things, things that SHOULD have been addressed. The break bar was a pain in the butt and made battles take too long. Every battle in a game should not take as long as the final battle with sephiroth. It just makes fighting a chore. The annoying characters are back and even more annoying than ever, I'm lookin at you Hope. If there was ONE character they should have killed off, it was Hope, but no hes one of the main characters again! But the most annoying thing that they could have ever done, in the history of final fantasy, that tops all other horrible offenses, is the addition of the Moogle. I cannot stress enough how horrible every second of this game is when that moogle is following you around. You know Snarf from thundercats? The moogle makes snarf sound like a poet. Voiced by what I can only assume to be a 10 year old asian girl, this moogle blurts out "KUPO!" constantly! The moogle kupo is meant to be heard as a sort of purr like a cat or dog. Not a spoken word! Play the demo, you'll hear it within 5 seconds. Ok, that aside, the game is solid. good graphics, music, and exciting cutscenes. Storyline is ok, but I dont think i can handle a third installment of this FF, which is inevitable due to the ending. So honestly, if you didnt care much for the first one, dont bother with this one.
