Not sure how a few of you are making assumptions on this or Versus, when practically nothing is known.

 I know enough to be turned-off, battle system and game's theme.

how many FF games in the main series had an emo character as the main protagonist? just FFVIII comes to mind...

 Cloud: "Wahh I don't remember my past! And I don't want to save the world because I have issues!"

Squall: "Wahh I don't remember my past! And I don't want to save the world because I have issues!"

Tidus: "Wahh my father hates me! And I don't want to save the world because of my daddy issues!"

I haven't played 12, but I've heard the same about every character except Balthier (sp?). 



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."

The battle system was good for me.

It is not because FFXII was not so great like others that the battle system sucks too.

Only the story and characters were a let down by FFXII in my opinion.

The battle system was okay.

Going by that I'm just gonna assume you've never played an FF game or you don't know what the word emo means. Having amnesia doen't make you emo. Tidus also had nothing against saving the world or helping the people in it. Same for Cloud actually. Not saving the world also doesn't make you emo though.

I hope this owns other RPG's as well, but I'll hold off until I know more. Too early to really tell.

My favorite FF combat system is the CTB system from X and Tactics. Anything after that was a step backwards. V was the best among the earlier crop of games.

I don't have high hopes for XIII. Taking the combat system from KH, the worst feature of a game I despise, doesn't help matters.

KH combat system is fantastic IMO, cause it might be like FFXII but it's sooo fast paced it makes the game so intense. I'd love to see the same battle system in other games.

FF XIII and Versus are the games that will make me buy a PS3. If not for these games i wouldn't buy one. Unless the games really suck i will buy them and most likely they will be the only games i buy (That is unless Star Ocean 4 comes to the PS3).

I don't know why people are up in arms, it doesn't have the FFXII battle system. I don't know why they said that. There's some similarities, as in no random battles and some kind of semi-real time element, but the actual execution is completely different.

I also don' know where they got this online thing from, last thing SE said was that they weren't sure but it most likely wasn't going to happen.

I actually liked the combat in KH, moreso in KH2 than in KH. Too easy though, I played KH2 through on Proud mode on my first playthrough, and I didn't notice it being difficult. Except for that one boss who uses all those telekinetic spears and shit. He was a pain in the ass. Awesome to hear that a much harder game is going to be using the same combat system. I hope it has awesome drives modes.
