Is Final Fantasy XIII worth it?

I am not that far in (4 or 5 hours), but I have enjoyed it so far. The battle system is intriguing, and the story is decent.

I can't really post an educated response until I've played a little more.

I've hated FF since 7. The originals few were fun, but the teenage angst dripping from everything Square touches is disgusting. I also got tired of reading dialogue that consists mostly of "................." long ago.

There is none of that in 13. There is a couple annoying characters, but the way everyone develops is pretty nice. They left the emo at the door.

Not to mention that 7 had little, if any, teenage angst.

Cloud was one of the happiest and energetic RPG main characters ever.

If anyone was dripping with angst, it was Cecil. He was a major downer.

All the emo in FF13 was channeled in to Hope for the first few chapters, but he does get better later in game. Teenage angst seems to be the driving force behind Japan, I'm actually surprised that this game had so little of it......

Man, what's with this game's post game content. It's just full of grind..... the really uninteresting kind too. Nothing like sitting here spamming death on a turtle for 15 minutes. At least it's profitable.
