Though I think Versus 13 looks interesting I have to agree with you there. It really doesn't seem "Final Fantasy-y". I don't see this as 'hope for the series' as some have dubbed it, it just seems too far removed.

As for my impressions: The combat looked cool but there is one thing hanging around that I didn't like. The AI characters running around. If I am hacking and slashing things up the last thing I want to worry about is some dumb ass AI running around and getting itself killed. They better be able to take care of themselves.
