I really like the cover. I have a feeling the back will be the same or similar to the NA version, but I like both the NA cover and the EU cover.

So, I was thinking to myself of all the similarities between X and XIII last night, probably a reason why I enjoy XIII so much because I was in love with X.

-Both are narrated (X-Tidus, XIII-Vanille)
-Battle System (X-2, XIII)
-Both sequels involve looking for the main protagonist of the fist game (X-2, Tidus, XIII-2, Lightning)
-Both endings involved changing fate (X-Yuna supposed to die like all the summoners before her to defeat Sin, only for it to return, XIII-All six characters suppose to destroy cocoon and follow the falcie's orders that have been ordered for centuries)

There are a lot more, but yeah...I love them both.

I don't think you can really count this, because they really didn't change their fate, cocoon still got destroyed...

True about Coccoon, however they were all able to wake up from crystal stasis, and destroyed f the fal'cie rule. No more la'cie, etc.

Also another.

-Both games show flashbacks at the end, showing events in the game. (X-Yuna during her speech, XIII-During the final boss fight)
-Vanille's pose on her eidolon is similar to Rikku's pose on the Machina Maw Dressphere in X-2.

BTW-I am currently at Gran Pulse after beating the game again. I have just defeated this little buddy, along with having the Growth Egg equipped. You get 80,000 CP for killing it. :O So...much....CP.

It's always so sad when you finish one of those games

I agree it's a very awesome game, one of my favorites
I did find it weird that all over the characters looked like kids,
and was wondering if there was any adults throughout the entire game

Why do you say its sad?

Might as well try and finish Golbez's story on the After Years. It's freakishly hard

It's basically FF4 again, just 17 years later.

All the characters are like "omg, it's the same thing all over again"
