EDIT: Yeah I agree, the English dubs are usually so bad compared to the Japanese ones. I love it when the game gives me the option of listening to the Japanese. Ever since I was a little kid who was into Dragon Ball, I've found the Japanese voice acting to be totally superior. Its kind of like listening to the Korean language versions of the GSL matches...theres just something about the way they do it that is just so much more passionate, so much more life. The English translation of the Japanese was so bad because they had to choose these totally kindergarten word choices when they were swearing in the original Japanese. For instance, a close friend would be killed by some evil maniac only to have the character witnessing it say, "Darn you!"

I think that this game might have the best soundtrack out of all FF games. Blasphemous, I know.

it wasn't terrible but it wasn't amazing either

still, they have captured my interest enough for a 13-3 so they did something right i guess.

and personally i hated most of the music. the historia crux theme drove me insane by the end and the battle themes were generally quite lame in comparison to 13's

overall it was better than i thought it was going to be at least. this whole 'if you change the future you change the past' shit is kind of silly though and i still dont really understand what theyre TRYING to get at.

Played it pretty much all weekend and so far, my only real complaint is how easy the game is. Seriously, I do like 75% of the fights with 3 COM mass aoe kill everything in 5-10 seconds. That's a bit disappointing considering XIII was perfect on that point.
Other than that, game is really cool, loving everything else, even the music (that metal version of the Chocobo song kicks ass!). I just hope that the game gets harder towards the end.

Question, I totally failed to google this somehow but based on the gameplay videos I saw is the amount of max party members in battles 3 (Noel + Serah + monster/DLC/temporary character)? And can you tame all non-boss/humanoid enemies such as Behemoths and Cactuars?

And should I assume Lightning has a really small role compared to Serah and Noel? :I

Yes, whole game (exept beginning ofc) you have 3 members: Serah + Noel + tamed monster. You can tame almost every monster in the game (without main bosses and C'tieh monsters). Including Cactuars and Behemots (hell, im using Behemot myself as Commander - this baby hits like a truck;P)

Lightning is now only a storyline character. You cannot play her.

Nobuo Uematsu was WONDERFUL at setting themes up throughout the games. For example, in FF9, the idea of planet Terra, which Zidane was from, having magic power and influencing the events that happened on Gaia, was shown a lot through the music. The theme for Terra was played at some point or another in like 8 different songs there, and it'd be variated, sometimes played in the background, or for only 5 seconds throughout the song, but it'd be there. That was huge, FFXII - FFXIII-2 don't have that at all.
