Is it just me or is the lipsync a bit off in this one? I don't recall it being noticeable in the other games, but maybe I'm misremembering.

We have an intriguing interlude with Lumina before Day 2 begins. She says Light is hiding her true thoughts and actually has no intention of helping God, I assume we'll get more of this stuff each day. This is a good scene, before this I assumed Lumina was just some kind of amoral trickster chaos being but now I don't know, and Light apparently not trusting God or Lumina is good. Though it's weird that Light doesn't seem to recognise she looks like Serah until we literally see Serah next to her lol.

Most of Day 2 is spent code searching in Luxerion. I like how detailed the day cycle is, but the time limit nags at me. I don't feel like I can just wander around at my own pace and enjoy my surroundings, instead I'm dashing here and there checking each wall hoping to see some numbers. I know the time limit won't really be that strict but still it's difficult to ignore it. After a long time I speak to somebody who tells me the last number is in the Warrens, which don't open until midnight, so I head to Yusnaan for a while to pass the time. Cool music there, and I always love a seedy decadent city in games. Even more so when they have a giant cactuar statue.

Back in Lux, Light meets Noel, who is... fine. I never had a strong opinion on him, it's kinda interesting that he's the Shadow Hunter I guess, honestly I don't remember XIII-2's plot well enough to know if this really tracks with his arc in that. Light has a pretty badass quote in the graveyard: "I've been fighting destiny for a long time now, and I'm getting pretty good at it." I love Light! I don't get why people dislike her as a protagonist. There's another line in a sidequest about some dangerous chaos beast that has killed a dozen bounty hunters, and she says something like 'yeah I guess I can spare a couple minutes'. So cool. Sidenote: how did she know which order the numbers went in?

I stop playing right before the big Noel v Light confrontation which I assume is a boss fight. No offence Noel but you're really not on her level, I'm not sure what you think you can bring to the table here.

So I figure each of the 'main' quests will be centred on a major character from the previous games. Noel is in Luxerion, Snow is in Yusnaan, so the other three must be Sazh, Fang and Vanille. But I thought Vanille was the 'saint' in Luxerion so who knows, maybe I'm forgetting someone. Still having fun so far!
