I'll be honest- I'd love to see the game flop, and I like the range that Seraphic gave it for the scores. But being realistic, it'll do better than that. I do think that it will fall short of 90, but just short; it'll probably be in the realm of 88-89. After all, this game will cater to what many of the "professional reviewers" like to see. But if I'm wrong, and it does fail, then good. I think that S-E needs the wake-up call.

....can someone explain why so many of you are hoping this game will fail?

Because pepole don't want a battle system when we control one character, we want an ATB/CTB battle system, with a varied way to level up our characters.
Because pepole don't want a tunnel for a world, we want world maps and we want airships and we want cities and towns and optional dungeons and sidequests.
Because pepole want a good plot, not something like 12 with a main character that sucks (I think Lightning's gonna end up cool though), and a friend of mine have read 13's script and said that it is incredibly generic.

We want FF to become a good JRPG series again, we don't want this shit MMO/Westernized feel to our games, we don't want to see one of the greates series in the history of gaming keep declining to irrelevancy, you may think that 12 was a good game, but face the fact that most of us don't, and that most of us want to see this game failing, so that Square realize that they can't shit on their fanbase and actually have to try again.

(That is, if the game does indeed suck, if it's good ignore what i've just said :P )

Heh, Lightning's really the only character in the game that I like.(makes me glad that she's the one pictured on my PS3) Everybody else is either so-so or annoying. The worst(and most annoying) character is the damn kid, hope. I just want to slap him upside the head (most of the time)...
