I just beat XIII for the first time, loved it completely. Now getting super hyped for this after exposing myself to all the media I avoided for fear of spoilers. I was able to swallow and laugh and enjoy all of the cheesy drama and anime acting for what it was, but it seems like with this game they're just trying to push my threshold a little bit further. But oh well, I enjoyed X-2.
My first thought is "Noel Kreis"? He may as well be named Jesus McSaviorpants.
