I have never played the game, but I have like 3 or 4 tracks from the sound track randomly liked on Spotify because they came up on the Smart Shuffle thing. Full Speed Ahead is my favorite. That shit slaps.

The game fixed all the problems from the first and gave us one of the best villains of the FF franchise. The narrative elements aren't as good, but everything else is an improvement. If you get a chance, I recommend it.

Do I need to finish 13 first?

[–] Omegamanthethird 2 points 1 day ago

Probably 80%-90% of 13-2 is its own story. One of the main characters was a side character and largely uninvolved in the original. The other main character is an original character. The enemy is original. The very ending is relevant, but summed up with a little bit extra.

The biggest thing you're missing out on is the context of random characters from the first game showing up in the second.

I've been singing this soundtrack's praises for more than a decade by now, I listen to it often.
