Apparently SE is releasing the "super secret" trailer themselves January 27th I believe. Have seen it a bunch of times and can't help but wonder whether or not the more action-oriented combat will be good for the series from now on? I mean a big reason why they didn't just rename this game to FFXV was because this had a darker story, more mature themes and instances of blood (which believe it or not is a first for the series).

But the KH-CrisisCore battle mechanics look alot better than the ATB system implemented in FFXIII. Seeing how soo many RPG series are taking the action route, mabey Final Fantasy should start doing it too? I know this'll upset the majority of the Old school-Hardcore fans, but the newer generation doesn't seem to be interested in traditional RPG styles. That said ME2 sold a little under 2 million units while FFXIII is closing in the 6 million mark, so there's definitely an audience that doesn't want action-heavy RPG's.

Can't help but think that this game is really putting JRPGs in the all-or-nothing spot. Like it's deciding the future for JRPGs (whether to stay traditional or follow WRPGs in the action category)! I still have hope that SE will redeem it's name with Versus and I know this'll be my favorite game of this gen (Bought a PS3 just for this game back in 2007 after seeing a trailer for it).

Can't wait for 2011 or 2012!
