@Xen

did I ever mention to you that FF12 brought back MANY things lost to the series....but completely crapped out in the story department

FF12 felt like a "fantasy".....but too many sandy environments n bad story made it bad

FF13 seems to be bringing variety of environments...n good story back

Lightning will prevail!

I wholeheartly agree. KH2 is the only good KH game, imo. Final Fantasy X pwns all of the KH games combined. I like the look more in Versus, but I'm more excited for the main game. The battle system looks sweet.

Like what?

 The only thing that worries me is that Hironobu Sakaguchi was behind all the original concepts for the best FF's. In FF7 the scenario writer would've had to pass Hironobus say so.

F-A-N-T-A-S-Y......non linear environments.........I-N-N-O-V-A-T-I-O-N (Fantastic battle system)

imo

Ah yes Hironobu is gone, getting hyped more and more for this game as I hear more details about it. The has been has nothing to do with either upcoming FF games, once again FF will set the bar this generation in terms of JRPG.

F-A-N-T-A-S-Y?

I say: P-O-L-I-T-I-C-S

Can't argue on the topic of battle system though.

 I hope your right. The absolute best FF's for me were 2, 6, 7 and I quite liked 9. 10 for me was so so, and 12 I wont go there. So I'm worried. Since he left I think FF has gone terribly downhill. So my fingers are crossed on this one.

The visuals though are immense. :)

@selnor

since sakaguchi left we have had only 2 FF's

of which one was given to the FFT team......the other was an online MMORPG

don't loose faith selnor...

"Many wild theories will be shouted out, but one that's probably not so wild any more is the notion that Final Fantasy Versus XIII might actually outsell Final Fantasy XIII in the Western world."

Wow, that is one of the silliest things I've seen in a long time.
