    It'll either flop (is hopeful) when people realize how ridiculous it is, it'll be ok, or it'll makes lots of sales to which SE will proceed to milk it for all it's worth with subsequent sequels and spin-offs.

    In either case it'll be a horrendous game.

    ^Just because Nomura touched it doesn't make it horrible.

    I really...really want it to be good. I haven't looked into it specifically, but I can only assume it's only going to be released for PS3 and not Xbox 360 or anything, right? I have neither, but I'm planning to get a 360 sometime soon. Final Fantasy is the ONLY reason I'd get a PS3. Which...is somewhat depressing, considering the love affair with Final Fantasy I've had to hide behind my boyfriend's back, and his behind mine.

    Yay Sqenix =]

    lol, you FF-pessimists are too much, trashing a game which has barely more than 0% of it revealed, on a forum for the series no less. Stop the hate, embrace the love!

    I'm sorry, the hate began the second Square Enix uttered the words "Female Cloud." then became absolute upon "Shiva transforms into a motorcycle."

    I stand by what I say. To me it just seems like their trying to be as gimmicky as possible and trying to take "cool" and "badass" to whole new levels.

    Really what's so wrong with just a regular sword or a character that doesn't mirror someone who already exists?

    Now I HOPE the game will be good, but as of late Square has yet to show me much more then an over inflated graphics budget. As of yet though I haven't seen anything that could dictate good except it has an interesting story premise.

    What, people who feel compelled to post criticism of a thread in said thread when it would take far less time and effort to just click the back button on the browser? And people who then go to the effort of seconding that when they could, of course, simply ignore the thread also? Yeah, every forum totally needs more of those members.

    But aside from nerd rage and forum circle-jerking, it's an FF game, so it's naturally going to sell bucketloads for the graphics if nothing else.

    It'll either flop (is hopeful) when people realize how ridiculous it is, it'll be ok, or it'll makes lots of sales to which SE will proceed to milk it for all it's worth with subsequent sequels and spin-offs.

    In either case it'll be a horrendous game.
    I remember you sir! From freaking years ago! But yes, the success of this will probably lead to 8 million sequels and adaptations. However Square seem to already have plans for this, so it's not going to make much difference in the short term. World of crystals or whatever.

    Ok, why are you so quick to judge a game that we know so little about?

    Sure, this game will sell good, but I am with the people that say this thread is dumb.

    what's wrong with it? it's been done over and over, again and again, for the last twenty years. square's just trying to do new things with the genre that havent been done before. as much of a fan that i am of traditional RPG stylee, i don't want to buy the same game for the rest of my life. I love RPGs, and i hope that in the future that companies like square continue to show me things ive never seen before - graphics wise, and theme/style wise. also, no need to trash on a game that no one knows truly ANYTHING about.
    yes, i'm a FFXIII fan.

    No reason NOT to either.

    And I agree I like seeing new things. But the summons being mechanical transformers? A main character that's quoted by the makers themselves as just being "A female Cloud", and very little talk about the characters and story and more talk about the graphics and action battles. Really I don't see a redeeming feature about the game as of yet except it'll have the flashiest graphics in the series on a new game engine they will just toss out when they make XIV anyways. Unless SE throws out some sort of crazy new info that is actually half decent, I'm holding to it looking to be a bad game as of now.
