It's hard to get terribly excited about anything Square-Enix makes anymore much ales the train wreck that has become the Final Fantasies main series.

FF13 is a desperate and shallow attempt to salvage the declining franchise by recycling as many popular concepts from past successes as possible and spreading the franchise out as thin as possible through spin-offs and companion games in hopes that one will hit the mark.

It's a futile strategy and one that has severely weakened the Final Fantasy Brand Name's Power. In an industry where JRPGs are struggling more and more I don't see Square-Enix gaining much headway in either pursuit.
