A bit TOO futuristic.

I haven't played any other futuristic themed FF's before FF8 but I really thought the theme was good and fitting. As long as the surroundings fit in well with the themes, I will be happy :).

Only FF before VIII that was futuristic was VII. The rest had a medieval setting and VI was somewhat of a mix

they weren't all that futuristic.

I'd actually say it was a lot more futuristic, and your comment, while potentially witty, just sounds a bit silly to be honest. No-one is suggesting that this is a total and utter disaster, so you don't have to act like everyone is saying this is a total and utter disaster.

For my previous point: FF7 was sci-fi yes, but it was a Full Throttle kind of sci-fi, with rotting buildings, and the incredible sense of rust that Square got so right in making it. I haven't played 8, but judging by the screenshots, it isn't anything like what 13 is going to be. I don't know whether this is a good or bad thing. Certainly, I like my Final Fantasy's more fantasy than sci-fi, but this game looks very interesting.

Interesting, wikipedia says there will be crystals again in FFXIII, at least Versus. Ok, now this should be interesting. There are no crystals in futuristic or steampunk FF's. Put crystals in a FFVII/VIII or more advanced world--well, if the KH team does Versus, then I don't think they'd ruin anything. It'll definitely be interesting. I didn't exactly grow up with the medieval FFs, but I have played them, so I'll look at FFXIII with enthusiam and intrigue, and so should all of you.

my top concern is also the storyline. FF7 and 8 were futuristic and they were fine and as long as the storylines good it should be a good game. its best not to judge it until it comes out and you play it for yourself.

there was no lost technology in FF1!!!!!!11 omgeez ;)

Why would anyone watch TV for a storyline? rofl. Storyline is a perfectly legitimate concern in a video game, enough with this silly "go read a book" stuff. The battle system sounds solid enough, I don't like waiting through long animations to give my next command, so this whole pre-progrmaming thing or whatever (I haven't read much about it, so not sure completely) doesn't sound half bad.

I just with there were the classic aeons. :(

And people should maybe read the thread before they post this whole "omg futuristic = /wrists rofl" junk. The OP changed his mind, if you notice.

the trailer was a bit dissapointing to me.. i dont mind futuristic surroundings but... it seems that it had no life in it.. no feeling..
i cant say anything for sure just now.. just gotta wait until it comes out

for ps3.... which i cant afford, hehe.. :(

The crystal, what? The stary line has been annouced? If so please tell

The compilation the game is apart of has the title:"Tale of the Crystal"I'm sure there will be crystals...

And on the subject,I really wouldn't mind another FF in a futuristic setting.I think that FFXII that will be released soon will be the perfect mix for me.

There is a way to make something futuristic, but rustic at the same time. Case in point, Firefly/Serenity.

I lean more towards enjoying the medieval setting but I liked the mix of future and past that happened in FFVII. I am not a fan of super futuristic or entirely sci-fi settings.

Yeah, you know that scene in the trailer, where she's walking through the woods... not exactly concrete and hover cars.

Well I like Xenosaga, and I'm alright with futuristic -- as long as it is broken up with beautiful nature environments (you see it in the teaser, for a few seconds, for FFXIII). I like futuristic and I like medieval settings too, so it's no real dissapointment for me at all. :)

I thought the futurestic look, looked pretty good. I like it, FF9's locations got kind of boring and bland IMO
