the FF13-2 demo has this intro that turned me off before I could even begin. ZFS, when you see it you'll have the same reaction.
then I get to this big battle against a hand and I'm doing dumb qtes while running up and down the hand as if it's stylish. meanwhile I'm waiting for meters to fill up which bothers me in FF13 way more than in other games for some reason. but every once and a while? fast-paced qte! it just feels so shallow and pointless.
and don't get me wrong, I love turn based RPGs. I just went through 86 hours of Xenoblade after all and never once minded fighting enemies.
