At the point of the game I'm at, the fights suddenly get much, much harder. Unfortunately, though the maps get bigger, there's still not much to discover. I gotta say Hope starts to grow on me, and Lightning is starting to look like a surprisingly three-dimensional, believable character.

I have to admit, though, that I miss the exploring that 12 had and I really, really hope I'll get to see some green soon. Or just... not more (though very beautiful) blue. x_x
