I dunno. I think this could be something good. Maybe we really could use another old school, FF style RPG. The FF series itself departed from this with VII. While there are plenty of RPGs that are more like the old FFs, sometimes the copies can't beat the originals.

Sakaguchi is one of those people (like Ueda, Kojima, Miyamoto... maybe even Molyneux) that put a flavor on their particular type of project that no amount of doppelgangers can quite emulate.
