Re: Final Fantasy XIII-2
If this is a dead period for you, then 13-2 is ok filler, I guess. If you are at all like me (playing Amalur until ME3 comes out), its not really worth your time.

Re: Final Fantasy XIII-2
FF7 was far from the best game in the series. Everyone just remembers it more fondly because it was the first one on the PS platform, the first to make the jump to 3d graphics engine, and everyone had a hardon for Sephiroth because of his theme music. Discounting Tactics, the best games were 4 and 6...
