First of all: FFIV DS is AMAZING and so far oppoiste from "pointless" I can't even think where to begin on this one. First of all, it took my absolute favorite FF game and brought it into the new century with good voice acting, 3D graphics, improved music, improved cut scenes . . . it just made a nearly perfect game all the more perfect.

As for FFXIII, I'm not remotely interested in it.

As for other upcoming Squeenix games I AM interested in: Blood of Bahamut looks AMAZING. FF:CC:Echoes of Time looks promising. I was sorely disappointed with FF:CC:Ring of Fates for completely removing all story and plot and character from the multiplayer version making it boooooooooooring and pointless. However, the word on the street is that Squeenix learned the error of their ways and didn't do that this time.
