Has Final Fantasy XIII turned to be too "dark" and futuristic ?

Trailer plays mainly in the futuristic seclude city (inside the cocoon). It reminds me of Midgar from FFVII. In the early part of the game you mainly fight soldiers with firearms, their watchdogs and robots with firearms and other devastating attacks. So, nothing is too dark or futuristic imo so far. Also considering the fact that outside the secluded metropolis , the world is not advanced(like Gaia in FFVII), FFXIII will feature also fantasy places and such.

I like romance in RPGs. The one in FFX is superb. Though I prefer when you are not forced and instead have the choice of the companion or no companion at all, like in the Star Ocean series. I think it´s about time FF introduced role-playing outside the battles and side-quests.

 

It was so nice going on a date with Barret.

Even if it was forced, the love story in FFX was very good. Even if this makes me look less "manly", I will admit the ending to that game caused me to shed a few tears.
