You're right. One disc. [gasp!] I fear now for the CG quality we're going to get. I hope for either better compression tools or more gameplay, less movies. PS3 owners are really going to blast us this time.

Believe it or not this could actully be a good thing; FF13 took 3 DVD disks because over 6 hours of cutscenes took up so much space. if their only using 1 DVD disk it means the level of cutscenes has been signifcantly reduced. which means they couldve allocated more time and resources into the gameplay and things that were criticised in the first game.

personally i think the PS3 version will be better anyway, because Crystal Tools was originally designed for PS3.

@Rob-Ot, FF8s story was written by a novelist? haha, i didnt know that. it was the execution that really let it down, things like introducting the main villain in the last 30 mins. it actully quite interesting because of the PSN PS1 store, where FF7 still has amazing popularity, even remaining in the top 20 downloaded games (US) for last month (and most likely every month for the last 2 years). but for whatever reason FF8 and FF9, while extremly populary, are not quite in the same league as FF7. and i think it was things that went wrong in FF8 that mainly contributed to that.

gameplay wise, it does seem a lot better, the QTEs look like a lot of fun, battles still look fast. and the time jumping could be more Chrono Trigger than FF8.

Nice trailer, I recently finished FF13 and I don't know why it's SO criticized. The game has it's problems in gameplay wise, but the characters are top notch. Also, I loved the story till the end.
Anyway, hope this is a real sequel not like FF X-2 which was kind of dissapointing

Looks very promising in the gameplay department and the music (the music in the first half not that mediocre song in the second half).

They have improved the gameplay a lot, for starters the environment is far more interactive (swinging across tree branches and so on) unlike XIII where the environment was more of a wallpaper than anything else.

I expect nothing from the story, the people behind the game were responsible for FFX, X-2 and XIII and partially VIII so my expectations from the story is nothing.

But the game looks fun on the gameplay side, more fun than a FF has been in many many years and thats the only reason the game is even on my radar.

@A203D

A professional novelist may be writing the story, but professional novelists supposedly helped to pen FF8's story and as you said the less said about that games story the better.

I thought that FFX had pretty great story. XIII not so much though and it looks like this doesn't really improve that.... Still I am buying. I enjoyed XIII despite its flaws.
