No. Disagree.
I think BOTH games (while I enjoyed them both) take away from what was the Final Fantasy Experience. Both had characters that almost ruined the game (Vani from FF XIII and Vaan/Penelope from FF XII). They both had very mediocre stories. Hell, FF XIII feels COMPLETELY incomplete as far as Im concerned. Both tried to change a WINNING formula.
FF needs to go back to its roots. Bring back the good ol' battle systems that were the backbone of older FF games. Bring back old style of experiece (license points? Crystalium? not needed). All the games from FF 1-10, took a winning forumla and tweaked it (some did a better job than others) but they still tried to stay true to what was FF. FF XII/XIII tried to completely change that forumla and I think they lost way to much of what made FF great in that change.
