2) Why are people comparing it to FFX? I just don't see the similarities.
I agree on the first point. As for the second, it got a lot of FFX comparisons because both were quite linear. But FFXIII took it to an extreme that I didn't even think possible in the genre.

As for the topic at hand, I'd be tempted to say FFXII because it was the last one I liked (and I liked it a lot), but depending on who's behind future games I'm sure I could like an FF title again, even after FFXIII had me about ready to give up on Square altogether. But at least that just cemented the idea that I should do everything I can to avoid anything that Kitase and Toriyama ever make again.
