Well you're likely forgetting a lot! A lot of people are in the same boat. That's why it needs a Remaster. It's a game many people don't want to think about lol
>time travel level select plot was...well I still think it's retarded
XIII-2 plot isn't as good as XIII I agree.
>13 seemed like it's lightnings show and everyone is with her for their own reasons
I disagree. The opening shows each character has a unique setup, despite going in the same direction. They just don't TELL you about the motivation immediately. Circumstance puts them together, not Lightning. XIII is a lot of show, don't tell. Only Snow and Lightning share motivations, Serah. That immediately tells you this is no solo mission, despite Lightning's cold attitude against Snow.
>She becomes a goddess or something, she's on the covers for a reason
Yeah, but that was years later. XIII itself doesn't treat her any differently than the others. And it's Lightning on the covers because, well obviously. She's visually stunning. There's no one else that could go on the cover. By the time LR rolls around the plot is entirely Lightning centric and for some people it's a bridge too far.
>I just think they could have made her more interesting
Perhaps, sure. But I thought that her cold demeanor and soft squishy center surrounded by a tough exterior was plenty interesting when you contrast with Serah. Both are impacted by loss/grief despite growing up together in the same home. If Lightning isn't interesting, then was Tidus? Or how about Cloud? Squall? Zidane? I would argue that Lightning has a more interesting character arc than many before her do. The fact is though that it's not a big arc that the whole story is focused around. It's just a simple, down to Earth human arc. Lightning stops treating the people who care about her coldly (Snow/Serah/Hope) and embraces her role as a samurai mother.
