Alright, I finally got a chance to read through the whole document you sent Yuriev. It does comfirm alot that I have heard as well but the article I quoted does state the correction to the "phone call" incedent.

Though I must say, it really does make you want to read the original script.

Well, I am optimistic with the new Final fantasy (13) since, although I disliked 12 alot, goes back to the main development team.

For those who don't know, 12 was written mainly by a different cast (who did vagrant story) to the ones that gave us the originals (especially psx).

So, all in all it should have a solid story and a solid gameplay factor. I haven't looked at many trailers but I did see 1 that looked pretty impressive.

The Ps3 is hugely superior to the ps2 and the FF team will more than likely push the system to the limit meaning as usual 10/10 graphics.

time will tell.
Yeah but I have issues with this team. I've never really cared for any of their efforts in the series so XIII doesn't exactly bode well for me I guess. The fact Nomura has been said to say that XIII will have alot in common with FFX especially worries me cause I find FFX to be the weakest entry in the series.

But I'll try to keep an open mind, who knows... Maybe I'll find it to be really good since I'm going in with pretty low expectations.

Hmmm...A very controversial comment with no backup or evidence on why the trailer appears to be in your eyes, 'crap'.
Graphically, it looks nice, but when I watched it myself, I didn't get a Final Fantasy feel off it.

At least I did with early trailers of XII.
The trailer just doesn't seem to have any real substance. It was basically a Hollywood violence and explosions galore. As a teaser trailer it's pretty good but it's not the action that brings me to the series. To be honest, XIII seems to be like the FFIX of the Kitase/Nojima/Nomura generation. The game already seems to have some sort of reference to VII, VIII, X, and KH. I don't believe this to be intentional though.

I still feel that Matsuno's team (FFT, Vagrant Story, FFTA, and FFXII) really knew how to embody the series better. The new team is trying to reinvent it; which isn't bad that they are trying I just don't care for the direction it's taking.
