I've made this claim before, about how this game was not made with heart.
Now no one may have understood what I meant, but this game seems -extremely- stiff and emotionless. -Yes- they do act like they have -some- kind of emotion, but it's normally put forth when something bad has happened to the -characters- and not really something that they may have seen or done that really has other association that something like "they were just convienently there at the time, so we have no real point on caring, we have things to do".
Other FF games if they walked into an ALREADY destroyed town the characters would be like "omg, what happened here" and normally there would be that one person in the party to suggest to find someone to find out more, which normally entails their want to help because they care and such.
I don't believe this game was made with the heart that the other ones were in, where you can actually connect with the characters in some human way as you could with the chara's of other games. I'm fearing that FFXIII may be like that too.
