Also metacritic is like the worst way to base your decision on a game purchase.

I didn't say anything about XII vs XIII, I said I loved both.

Know what XIII's score is higher than, though? Tales of Vesperia.

Going by the straight MetaScore, I agree. I suggested reading a ton of reviews though, which are easily collected for link clicking at Meta and GameRankings. I always use a large sampling of reviews to aid my game selection.

As for Hope and his dad, I had no problem simply chalking that up to petulant teenage angst and senseless "YOU NEVER UNDERSTOOD ME" hate. Hope seeming pathetic because of it made perfect sense to me, because Hope WAS fucking pathetic. I actively keep him out of my party permanently, and I hope he grows up to get testicular torsion.
