Looks like a great game and good news for Nintendo, but...

Could this be a more shameless attempt at ripping off Final Fantasy? I mean the logo is IDENTICAL, the world last is a synonym for final and fantasy a synonym for story.

God I just hope the actual game isn't so, similiar... the last thing the JRPG genre needs is another of the 'big players' living up to it's cliches.

Can you really call it a ripoff considering it's being made by the guy who invented Final Fantasy?

Well yeah, I suppose you can.

Seems more like he's trying to "Get back his IP" more then anything else.

It's why I'm a bit skeptical honestly.

Not for the reasons you say so much as... well... you never see the "next great" thing promoted as being just like something else... even if they are the same.

 Yeah I get that it's the same guy, I'm not sure, I just think it's a bit shameful for them to be trying to make a Final Fantasy. Like sure, you can have your influences and stuff, but this - based of what we know so far - feels like it's trying to actually build it's appeal off of being a Final Fantasy game.

 I'm sure I'll love it and stuff though, and be able to look past all that. To me though the JRPG genre needs reinvigorating and new ideas, whereas this just seems to be the sort of thing that's made it stale in the west.

 I'll wait for Gameplay anyway, It'll no doubt be an awesome game if their track record if anything to go off. It's just not the direction I personally want to see the big name JRPG's folk going in.

I suppose that depends on how you feel about intellectual property and whether it should belong to the creator or the company.

Personally, I think it's shameful that the system is set up so that creators have to sign away their intellectual property to corporations.  Both have important roles and legally both should hold joint custody.
