It's kinda sad that it's taking them so long to get this game out in the open, even sadder because it's Nomura who's behind the game and I haven't yet been dissapointed by a Nomura game.
I have neither lost interest nor gained interest over Versus XIII, it's the same as it has always been. I've always used this moderated approach to games I want launched and it has paid dividends. If I hadn't, I still be despairing at the huge amount of time it's taking Blizzard to release Diablo III (and FF fans complain about 6 years of wait xD).
And I agree with the comments that say that FFVII character design isn't inspired at all. You want good character design? Here's a couple:
