1up - FFXIII Preview, No MP (use all the magic you want), No LVL UP, No XP

I'm from the old school. One of my gripes with Lost Odyssey is its simplicity (no armor, overly simple battle system, etc.). I think games are being "dumbed down" too much, this gen. MGS4, Res Evil 5, and now Final Fantasy Xlll. Of course, I'm going to buy it, but is it still an RPG?
