    You can tell Lightning's voice actress was working on this and Mass Effect 3 at the same time. It sounds like the trailer is being narrated by Liara T'Soni.

    So far I'm not a fan of Caius or the lack of hats covering Snow's terrible hair, but otherwise I'm really looking forward to this game.

    I'm looking forward to the game on all aspects, except that I hope there's no crazy FFVIII-esque jacked up timeline plot that makes no sense. Overall, very glad I preordered. I'm going to hit it harder than I did FFX. Expect to not see me for the first three weeks of February.

    I find the lack of Sazh disturbing. I mean I know we saw him briefly but c'mon.

    You know I'm looking forward to this far more than I was XIII. Should be good.

    FFXIII is the only FF that I've considered trading in.

    Looks like its using Chrono Cross's main theme of what happens when you change history, though in this case it's Etro's fault instead of your party, kinda weird they seem to have dropped the whole Fal'Cie/l'Cie element that was the defining plot element of the original game. The gameplay sections look much better but I have zero interest in the plot since I hate XIII's cast and my fave character has at most in the entire XIII-2 promo period only been seen in the new extended XIII ending and that one shot of him with his son in the trailer, makes me think he's going to have a very very minor role in the plot instead focusing on the new characters and Lightning mostly, with Hope and Snow now getting supporting roles.

    Almost all the male characters in the game look like females. It is the only thing that makes me not want to play this game.

    You've never seen a teenage male before?

    The battle system by itself (assuming it's been tweaked for the better) would probably make this game worth playing, at least. But the original plot had painfully poor writing, and I don't have any higher expectations for this game. At least it looked like there was some more side games, though what little wandering the video showed seem to involve the same follow-the-line gameplay from 90% of FFXIII.

    No Sazh is also highly disappointing. Lightning is good, but the only thing I liked about Snow was his music.

    ...The main antagonist looks like a woman. And I don't think that he is a teenager.

    Yes, and they are riddled with acne and hair growing out of weird places, with squeaky voices.

    The more I see of this game, the more I am reminded of Radiant Historia.

    That's not exactly a bad thing, Radiant Historia is a great game, but, seriously, the similarities are becoming way, way too strong.
    My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.
