I imagine it being the first PS3 FF and first Xbox FF that made the difference. Personally, i think a lot of people, myself included, will completley pass on the next garbage SE decides to spew at us.

I bought FFXIII because it was FF and i expected something amazing, even after reading some less than flattering reviews. I wont make that mistake again. I know a lot of people who traded FFXIII days after buying it, aparantley they were fooled too.
