Impressive. It definitely is visually pleasing even if it's not as technically as advanced as most other games that are at the top graphically are. If you could freely move four characters around and the boss could react in a more natural manner, the game couldn't look like this.

so convinced it could be a potential GOTY 2010 now?

Based on graphics? Nope. It's conventional and traditional RPG ways will never sway the votes in it's direction. Reviewers and voters are looking for a change in the genre FF XIII is not willing to provide.

But it has tons of innovations.

Its not traditional.....nor is it conventional

They ar eputting innovations in

I'm fairly sure they're not. I bet it's still a game about a ragtag bunch of rebels fighting some human and then demonic force threatening the world and/or universe with total destruction or something. Hopefully no one has amnesia.

I'm sure the fighting still involves inputting commands and watching the action play out.

I'm sure a lot of the innovations are merely spinoffs of things they've tried in other games and are repackaging and renaming for this game.

I like Final Fantasy, but it is what it is. They tried to change the formula drastically with FF XII and innovate. They got shitted on for it by fans and didn't execute well enough to sway reviewers and voters. Now they bring it back to a more traditional approach.

You're just complaining about stuff that defines the genre.  Shooters will all have guns, but having a shooter with a gun doesn't mean it isn't innovative in other aspects.
