Finally! woooo can't wait. If it's not released in 2013 worldwide, then I'm just giving up on them -_-, 2014 will be too late.

Don't give up hope just yet. It's going to be Nomura's Magnum Opus for the FF series. Supposedly he said after this game he no longer wants to work with the FF series. Not sure how believable that is, if the game does really well he will be the star child of SE(as if he already isn't) and be cornholed into that role (much to Toriyama's dismay and my glee).

I don't see how FF can possibly continue without Nomura. Nomura's done every character design, no? Without his artwork, the feel of the game just would not be the same. The success of the FF series as a whole, even beyond FFvs13, depends on Nomura and his work. Although, if what he says is true, I hope FFvs13 is truly the FF we've all waited for, a 'classic' ps1FF/KH combo, with a bit of edge.

Then again, Kojima threatens us all the same, and I don't see him actually stopping his involvement in gaming production.
