sorry but FF13 doesn't look like low-budget crap..

 

A game doesn't have to be low budget to be crap. Square has handily shown us that time and time again. And from what we can see looking at FF13, all it has is flashy graphics. Though I'm sure it being a PS3 exclusive reflects in no way on your opinion of it.

Ahhh....but I could say the same to you Onimusha.

 

Let me tell you a story. A story of about one of the biggest incentives for Onimusha12 to buy a PS2 last generation. Final Fantasy. I adored FF7-FF9 and even conceded to liking the much anticipated FF10 after some dissapointment. However FFX2, FF11, FF12, FF7: Dirge of Cerberus all painted the picture rather clearly that Final Fantasy was dead in the water and not getting any better. When I see the trailers of FF13, I see everything that has become formulaic, generic and repetitive with these latest instalments amplified and celebrated while any vestige of what once could have been considered Final Fantasy is cleanly polished away. How can you even call something a Final Fantasy game without Yoshitaka Amano's Art or Nobuo Uematsu's Music? Final Fantasy has been an emptying shell evern since FF10 and its only getting worse. I'll also have you know I'm just as dissapointed with all the Final Fantasy games released on Nintendo consoles with moderate exception to the remakes for the DS, then again, when a good game had already been made, it doesn't take alot of effort now does it?
