What are the chances for FF13 being the best Final Fantasy game?

It's not going to beat IX for me already because Lightning is a Cloud clone... so I guess basically zero for me.

So despite all of the things that go into a great game, you've already based that off of Lightning being similar to Cloud? For that matter, Steiner was similar to Dekar. I don't know why anyone would really care.

The start of any great JRPG is great characters. This is especially true of Final Fantasy. Cloud was annoying as hell. How is it silly to not like a game as much because it has bad characters?
