I have this horrible pessimistic feeling that FFXIII will fall flat on its face ... I know, I doubt this feeling too, but I just cannot shake it ... well I can but it just becomes frothy and takes up more space, and everyone knows that volume is directly proportional to strength, and strength is directly proportional to how often you go to parties, which in turn is directly proportional to how many friends you have, which, in turn, is indicative of how much social influence you command, which, in turn, allows you to get more friends, which makes you more influential etc etc ad nauseum. The end result is that all trying to get rid of this feeling does is make it stronger, which in turn makes it more prevalent which makes it stronger which makes it more prevalent etc etc ad nauseum.
