Sure, it helps you get through the agonizing wait, but each new tidbit you learn is something you can't discover on your own, and spoilers wait around every corner to mar the experience. Over the past couple of days I've been playing quite a bit of the Japanese version of FFXIII, and although I've had quite a few revelations spoiled for me, I thought I'd put together a list of things that are actually helpful to know going into the game, while avoiding spoilers at all costs. If you can't make it until March 9th, consider this a (mostly) guilt-free appetizer."
