These tidbits have gotten me more intrigued in FFXIII. I've lost interest in the series over the last 12 years. Only Final Fantasy games I have enjoyed in 1997 were FFIX and FFX. I didn't like VII, VIII, X-2, XI, or XII. I know I've remarked the last Final Fantasy game I enjoyed was Lost Odyssey. LO gave me the feeling that Final Fantasy used to.
As Soriku so state earlier, the HP recovery is reminiscent of Baten Kaitos Origins or more recently the The Last Remmant. For anyone thinking this will make the game easier they are most likely mistaken. Every RPG I've played with after battle HP recovery was difficult. The developers take into account that you will have full HP each battle and because this every battle is can be potentially deadly. In both BKO and TLR i've fallen to common enemies many times.
Well the battle system seems like plus. If the characters and story can get my interest, this will be the first Final Fantasy game I've bought since X. Hell, I bought PS2 just to play FFX.
