The Very Big Final Fantasy XIII Thread

Even with Hope and Vanille around, I still find the cast of FF13 to be surprisingly believable. Take Lightning for example. Yes, she was a TOTAL bitch at the start of the game, but she seems to have softened a bit by now. I mean, it's quite striking when it goes for a flashback and Lightning pulls some shit like "This is the worst birthday ever" . Then she comes back to the present, Hope goes on some stupid tangent like "I HAVE TO GET STRONGER SO I CAN AVENGE MY MOTHER, THIS PLAN IS CALLED OPERATION NORA. MY MOMS NAME WAS NORA BTW." And Lightning just doesn't comment.

Vanille would be believable if she would tone down the ditzyness. I'm half expecting it all to turn out to be an act later on - like, she pretended to be shallow so no one would get to know her or something - because at this point she's just ARGH.

Sazh is great, Lightning is good if familiar, Snow is great when he's not obsessing over Sarah, and Fang is good from what I've seen of her (which admittedly isn't much).

Regarding weapon levels - does anyone else find it to be almost inhibiting? I keep finding weapons for my characters, but I've spend so much on the weapons they're already holding that there's no reason to switch.
