I could see something like "suggestions" for where to be, based on the older "front/back" of previous FFs. This way you could position Sentinels to get close to enemies, and Ravagers to be further back. Too bad the game is uh...already out... :p

That's kind of what I was thinking. Just set it up so the right bumper lets you select a position. "Near targeted enemy", "far from targeted enemy", "far from party" or some such.

EDIT: Please tell me that is not how Yaag dies. That may be the lamest death I've seen in the game so far. Even worse than Serah's!

Are you talking about the early chapters? No, not quite. He survives that.

That's comforting. Just how many chapters are there anyway? I mean, I'm under the impression I'm nearing the end of the second disc, but if that's the case, this game looks to be a bit shorter than advertised.

Thirteen chapters. One of them ( Gran Pulse) is probably going to be very long, due to being very open.

I'll be honest, in spite of the way damn near everyone (alright, two or three people) seems to hate this game, it's probably my favourite in the series right now. Maybe it's just because I can finally get behind both the story AND the gameplay instead of just one or the other (Story/not gameplay = FF9, gameplay/not story = FF7), but this is the most fun I remember having in a main-series FF game since the first time I played one.

Speaking of, is it possible to continue the main story for a bit and still do Missions later?

I just hitched a ride on Atomos, but I'm not sure how if I can still go back(It's more confusing since I see the occasional Mission-giver).

Anyone else see framerate issues in Nautilus, or was that just me? They weren't huge, but it was clear the game wasn't moving as smoothly as normal, and in Nautilus that made it kinda disorienting.

Tiny bit. Only time I saw slowdown was at that huge group of people near the spawn/entrance.

Taken from Joystiq, according to Square-Enix:

Taking into account European sales, Final Fantasy XIII has "recorded the largest first-week sales in franchise history."

Something like a million in the first week.

Good. Now make more, make them quicker, make them better, and make them for 360
