I simply disagree, I think you're judging the story way too soon, the story is a correlative and continuous concept , you can't judge it based on clues here and there , beside , If you checked the latest trailer dialog, you'd notice Noctis is different than Squall , Versus seems to be more about friendship rather than love, Noctis was joking around with his friends , I can't imagine Squall doing that :p . Also, Noctis and Stella are enemies , that IS interesting by itself , would he kill his love ? or she would ?.. " Versus reflects our world today, and its ugly issues" ^^

Anyhow I've played Birth by Sleep not long ago, and I'm sure that Nomura can deliver .

Funny thing that you mention FF12 when we are talking about bad written characters ;). Personally , I'm not really the biggest fan of XII. I believe their main guy has left to Level 5 btw.

i'm judging the story based on Advent Children. i think Tetsuya Nomura had a hand in FF8s story as well, which is why well...

i've seen a few pictures of Noctics aloof his 'so called' friends while they are goofing around. similar type of thing as Squall, who behaves as if he is above everyone else for the sake of looking cool. its the same way Nomura ruined Cloud in Advent Children. and i got fed up of how all the FF7 cast who had relatable personalities in FF7 became cliched anime sterotypes in Advent Children. Noctics are Stella are enemies... this is nusating. like FF8 where Squall must train SEEDS to hunt the sorceress who eventually turns out will one day be Rinoa. its going to be the same thing since they are enemies...

i think Nomura might suceed on a gameplay level, but i doubt on a story or character level the game will be interesting. i think a lot of it will be characters monologues like FF13. Notics will give many speeches during the game about things that you dont agree with and things that arnt necessarily true. rather than being about characters developing with relation to other characters.

FF12 is half a mess. i dont deny it. but thats because the main developer had to leave because of health issues. 2 characters who i dont think were even meant to be in the game were forced in. besides your telling me Versus will have issues related to the real world. yet FF12 is a reference to the events of Hiroshima and Nagasaki... that to me is a lot deeper than anything Nomura has done. i dont think its going to be deep at all. it will try to be, but wiil end up being pretentious and shallow.
