They should focus on playable game content instead of making incredibly well rendered mountains.

But gameplay has nothing to do with a graphics tech demo, give them the benefit of the doubt that they are paying as much attention to the gameplay as they are the visuals. We've yet to see anything to suggest otherwise.

Final Fantasy XIII begs to differ.

Final Fantasy XIII involved the biggest changes in a frachise history where it comes to the battle system. Regardless of whether you like it or not (The vast majority of critics praised the system), such a big change doesn't occur through them neglecting gameplay. What they need to do is put the same amount of attention they into the battle system, into the gameplay outside of battle. FFXIII was my least favourite, I will just consider it a failed experiement (with the increased linearity which was intentional) but I'm not worried about the franchise, as long as they continue taking risks.
