I don't care for FF13 either. These soap opera stories don't do it for me. Hopefully the gameplay will be solid because it's already event that the narrative is not my style. I'll most likely get FF13 but only at the bargain bin.

Yeah, to me, gone are the golden days of FF6 and FF7 (FF6 is my favorite).

Once FF8 rolled around, the characters became more effeminate and emo, the whole angsty-theme thing, and the story was just ridiculous. FF10 was the only good FF since, but how long ago did that come out? I get more excited about Star Ocean games (SO2 is in my top 5 games of all time) and new franchises than a new FF game.

So I've been thinking of waiting a few months/bargain bin as well for this game.

P.S. To JRPG developers, turn-based is slow and cumbersome, boring, lacks a sense of logic/reality.

Reality is boring! So hurray for turn-based combat!
