I'm excited for Kain cause I would probably be one of those Kain obsessed fanboys but its simply cause he is a treacherous dick that makes him not as two dimensional as the rest of the cast. I think Rydia fans are far worse personally.

I'm not happy with Lightning but I knew it was going to happen so whatever. I don't like her as a character but then again I probably wouldn't have mind if XIII was just skipped... On the other hand, it could have been Hope or Vanille so I should be grateful for small things.

I'm curious to learn how the Assist system is going to work and hope there are more gameplay improvements as well. I seriously want some retooling to go down. I also wonder if we might see tag team EX-Bursts now...
