    This game is either going to be an epic masterpiece or an abysmal failure. :(

      They spend so much time on their cut scenes and details that their games always take forever anymore.

      The games always look good, but I haven't finished an FF title through since 9.

      Probably a total failure. By 2010 I will have forgotten about this game, oh wait this isn't even the version I was looking forward to. FF13 Versus looks much better.

          Guess you didn't get what I was saying. I'll forget it because it looks just like every other FF game since 8, like shit.

            Yeah, like you can tell that from the 4 screenshots that have been released. Hey man, if you don't like Japanese games, then stay out of the kitchen...

              Oh I love Japanese games, and I'm a huge fan of FF. I must be the only one that is reminded of FFX-2 and FF12 when looking at these screen shots. FF has been going down hill since 7 IMO.

                  A good number of people would beg to differ. Don't just assume your opinion is the end all be all of RPG gaming.

                  FF8 had strong points, I hated FF9, 10 had a few good points, beyond that I hated each release. Those are just my opinions. I am man enough to admit I may be wrong about FF13, and I hope I am, but at this moment in time it looks to me like another flop.

      Because any previous Final Fantasy game has been a failure right?

        Obviously that depends on who you ask; I'm not a huge fan of a few of them. Objectively, they've all sold well as far as I know, but precedence is not the sole factor in determining future success. This game represents a pretty significant risk due to the budget it seems to be getting, and there's probably more than a few hopes riding on it. That and 12 strayed far enough away from the series' roots to alienate a few fans, and their last few in-house games haven't been quite up to par. There are a lot of places things could go wrong and reasons why the success isn't guaranteed, and I don't see a whole lot of middle ground.

        Now that we've covered the half-empty glass, I do hope it turns out well because that means I get to play another great game. I have no reason to bank on their failure.

        Satisfied?
