I'm really looking forward to this game, it reminds me that I need to get a job lol.
I agree. I love IV, but if it's going to compete from a game play standpoint it needs to evolve. Though I don't think IV's new skill system will be very deep, I believe it should be enough to appease the newer fans who are used to having some level of customization.

I am curious to know if their might be class restrictions... somehow I don't see Rydia or Rosa making use of Yang's skills. Nor can I imagine the game allowing Paladin Cecil to be able to use Black Magic (or heaven forbid his Dark Wave attack).

Gameplay sounds intriguing, but personally I'm still more psyched about the new scenario. I recently purchased a copy of FFIV Advance and like the rest of the Advance series, the new localization has really changed the game for the better.
