I think the level of pretension by some of the senior members in this forum can be directly correlated to the declining activity in gaming discussion subforums. Do you really think the original poster Laddy enjoys coming here when her opinions are received with such little respect?
In the OP's defense, I think FFXIII takes a bold step forward in the theme of exploitation which Yoshinori Kitase introduced to the series in Final Fantasy VI. The fact that humans, not summons, not moombas are being enslaved and subjugated into different castes indicates that XIII is going to be a powerful commentary on what human beings are capable of doing to each other.
