      I can't be the only person who finds this lazy.

      EDIT: This game looks incredible, of course, and it was the title I was most interested in when the announced the FFXIII world years and years ago.

      I'm pretty pleased with it - Versus XIII always looked more promising to me then XIII and damn there's some awesome scale in that trailer.

      The game looks absolutely amazing, I'm more excited about it than I ever have been for any other Final Fantasy game.

      Check out that map...



      Guess all the FFXIII haters don't have to worry about linearity this time around.

      The scale of Leviathan is super impressive, I have some serious expectations for whatever that part is.

      That scale alone made me think shadow of the colossus. The platforming seems similar too. So an FF with shadow of the colossus aspects? TAKE MY MONEY SE!

      Am I the first to say that the game doesn't look like a Final Fantasy? I guess it's an action game? Splitting hairs here, the trailer looked awesome and of course I'll play it.

      That's most likely why they are going to have that press conference about "the future of Final Fantasy" tomorrow. So they can be like "we want some action okay?" and we'll be all "okay :/ "

      Considering how much crap they've tended to get about the series for a while now, can you really blame them?

      I must concede I was hoping FFXV would be a completely new game so I would have two games to look forward to instead of one. xD But I'll take this. As for the action elements, this was always going to happen (I'm surprised it wasn't sooner), and I don't consider it a bad thing.

      While I agree with BoB,I still feel like this would've made a strong new IP. FFXV could've had more concepts like like what we saw in Agni's Philosophy, while maintaining a classic RPG feel. Ah well, the FFXV we're getting looks really good. I wonder if they've completely redesigned the whole game since the last trailer? The setting looks less Japan and more Italy. Plus the camera's a lot tighter.

      I'm glad they've not forgotten about it.

      It looks amazing.

      Nope, It was more Italy from very beginning.

      I'm guessing they changed the name due to FFXIII's notoriety, so that people don't associate the two with each other anymore.

      Maybe, but why did they bother with Lightning Returns then?

      Because they left FFXIII-2 unfinished, the bastards.
