I agree a grittier environment is a more believable future. Even in an alternate reality, any being related to humans will never be able to produce a truly "clean" environment. Besides, in such an environment, where then would be the need to fight battles? Wouldn't it all be serenity..?

I was curious about that soda bottle. Did she use magic to turn it into a potion? I suppose in this environment, they don't really have potions available like in the good ol' days.

Hey about Nomura... Monty Oum started making Dead Fantasy videos on YouTube and highly advertised 6/7/8 and we have yet to see them. Then Nomura shell's out Kingdom Hearts and promises us Versus XIII... are we being played?
