After learning that FFXIII's director (Motomu Toriyama) did FFX-X2 and it is being remade with slightly updated graphics and some new elements I will most likely buy that title after I finish the FFXIII trilogy. FFVIII looks to much like VII (which bored me immensly) and I doubt it is worth trying for myself. FFIX has such a great soundtrack I might pick it up on PSN just for that aspect of that game, but the gameplay looks like everything that has been done FF1-8 so that's extremely predictable and boring as an older fan now imho.
I think FFXV will be very well liked because it is done by the creator to Kingdom Hearts and has various members from 7,10,12,13, and the Parasite Eve 2 battle director, Takeshi Nozue for CG and Animation. I think mixing up the older creators like this does something special to the FF series that the past ones couldn't because they needed to burn themselves out so to speak, and get us gamers traped under their gameplay mechanics skills. Now they can use what is liked and mix in other creative ideas they haven't in the past or expand on those ideas further. It also has the sound done by the person that did Guiles theme http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhrWiG-WO_k her name is Yoko Shimomura also did Final Fight soundtrack I hope she is inspired when she completes FFXVs soundtrack. :)
