Should I finish FFXIII before beginning FFXIII-2?

Question

I got Final Fantasy XIII when it came out, and played up to the beginning of Chapter 8 before real life pulled me away.

Being the impulsive spendaholic that I am, I have now purchased Final Fantasy XIII-2. My question is, should I go back to and finish the original before beginning on the sequel? Am I to expect major spoilers in XIII-2 that could seriously impact my enjoyment if/when I eventually return to XIII?

Answer

If you don't want the ending of Final Fantasy XIII to be completely and irrevocably spoiled, do not play Final Fantasy XIII-2 until you complete it: don't look at it, read reviews, play the demo, or anything.

Final Fantasy XIII-2 is a direct sequel to Final Fantasy XIII, and its entire plot hinges on the events at the ending of Final Fantasy XIII. That ending will be spoiled within 15 minutes of starting Final Fantasy XIII-2.
