Brilliant.
So far, it has no elements going against it for me (linearity? Cool with me!). It had the best team in SE developing it (team FFX), it has great music, graphics, and battle system.

Best game ever? Maybe. It'll need to beat FFX... which is the current title-holder for me.

I'm worried the story won't be very good...something I really love about just about all FF games.

Don't care much about personalities or character designs. It's a Japanese game, and they have their own style, something numerous people can't seem to appreciate.

The story seems very good besides the lack of a memorable antagonist.  Jihl Nabaat and Yaag Roash just had to have their roles in the game exaggerated by the trailers.  As long as the six players characters are memorable enough, I'm sold story wise.

FF XIII's music is pretty damn good, I don't think it'll disappoint.

I think this game has a lot of good things going for it, but I don't expect it to be my favorite FF game, and I don't think any game will take away FFVII's place in my heart... then again, I never thought any game would conquer my love for DQIV either, and FFVII sure did, so I am willing to believe it could happen some day.

Odds are, it will be a new Dragon Quest game before a Final Fantasy one though...

I think it will be great. A lot of the impressions I've heard sound great, and there hasn't been a Final Fantasy game yet that didn't get a fair share of hate.

It's true, though. Just look at the main three Final Fantasy games on the Playstation:

FF7: Cloud is emo, it's overrated, plotline is bad, Cait Sith sucks, etc.

FF8: Squall is emo, junction system is too complicated, summons are different, you can't buy weapons, etc.

FF9: Too cartoony, too childish, return to fantasy, etc.

In fact, I'd say Final Fantasy 9 got the least complaints of those three because it was the least popular. And that doesn't mean that there were less people to complain, just less people praising it (and thus, less of a need for the enlightened people to remind us how bad they actually are). This is an endless cycle for every popular game from a popular series. And again, from I've heard, Final Fantasy 13 sounds excellent. The only thing I don't like about it is that it's ANOTHER game I have to add to my queue. I still haven't bought Uncharted 2, Mass Effect 2, or the over 9,000 other great games this generation.

That's not really true. If you go to more FF focused forums and look at discussion of best FF game ever IX is constantly fighting for 3rd with X (behind VII and VI). On our boards it's actually probably 2nd, after VI and above VII, so it really depends on where you go.

I don't know how to block spoilers.  I apologize if I spoiled something.

I didn't say that Final Fantasy 9 is the most loved, just that it got the least complaints. 

And you actually responded to something I said, which is nice as well.
