Generally, it seems like a game much closer to FFX than FFXII, which is very good, IMO. Not all hope is lost, FF fans!

Hey, lestatdark, what's up?

Hey routsounmanman ;) 

Yeah, FFXIII is made by the same team that made FFX, so it will be a lot close in terms of how everything develops and unfolds in the game. These 5 days are going to be torture to wait for the game xD  

You loved FF12 though didn't you? So would you have preferred it if Team FF12 had made FF13?

oh & I might get it on saturday, GAME have dispatched the order today!!!!! OMG!!

Nahhh. As much as I loved FFXII, it would be too much too soon for them to work on another main FF. Each FF has it's uniqueness in that it feels different from the last one and I hope they keep at it ;) 

Hope that you get the game on saturday :D  

cool just what I wanted to here

glad to see you like change too!!!!! lol

I knew you would say that, but wanted you to say it to set it as an example for other people

I think that FF fans should be used to the fact that each new installment of the main series is different, rather than waiting for them to mimic the exact same things of FF's of the past. There's no excuse for even those FF fans from the pre-PS1 era, and that's counting those that have followed the series from the start, like me.

That tone was set right from FFII, which made humongous changes to the FF and JRPG formula. It was the very first JRPG to use a differential leveling system. Each action had a consequence to your stats or growth. You used a spell, you gained a level for the spell, you improved your MP, your intelligence stat. You suffered damage, you improved your HP and your vitality stat. It had no MP system, which also was a huge departure from even todays JRPG standard.

Yet, nowadays FFII is considered a classic, and people overlook those changes. Why can't they do the same for each new FF is beyond me. I guess you put it right, everyone who wants to hate on each new FF, will find reasons to do so.
