What'd you think about ff13 (Destiny)

I last played 13 in 2011. I got about 15-20 hours in, went out for a pack of cugarettes and never came home. I've been meaning to finish it up but never got around to it. Now that there's a convenient Destiny-sized hole in my calendar I thought I'd start over. I'm only about 6 hours in but I'm enjoying it.

I'd forgotten how much I like the fight system, which is a bit controversial be ause I know a lot of people disliked it. But it feels a lot more about timing and directing the flow of battle, rather than the traditional approach of issuing individual commands one at a time. I'm arguably doing less (though I dont really see the difference between me pressing Attack 3 times and the computer doing it because I told it to) but it all happens so much faster that it's still engaging.
