    While I agree with BoB,I still feel like this would've made a strong new IP. FFXV could've had more concepts like like what we saw in Agni's Philosophy, while maintaining a classic RPG feel. Ah well, the FFXV we're getting looks really good. I wonder if they've completely redesigned the whole game since the last trailer? The setting looks less Japan and more Italy. Plus the camera's a lot tighter.

    I'm glad they've not forgotten about it.

    It looks amazing.

    Nope, It was more Italy from very beginning.

    I'm guessing they changed the name due to FFXIII's notoriety, so that people don't associate the two with each other anymore.

    Maybe, but why did they bother with Lightning Returns then?

    Because they left FFXIII-2 unfinished, the bastards.

    To me, making this game a part of the main series rather than more of a spin-off just means the game is actually going to come out someday. I also think that we got to see of the game looks fantastic.

    Probably because it's a direct sequel, not a seperate story like XV. Also, notice it's "Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII" not "FFXIII: LR", and the "Final Fantasy XIII" is kind of small compared to the rest of the title. So I guess they are kind of ashamed of what XIII was, but acknowledge people still adore Lightnin'.

    They announced KHIII, do I need another reason to buy a PS4? No, but this helps.

    Eh, the graphics look good, but I don't think I'll be able to play this. Looks like it'll have button mashing, and I hate button mashing.

    Also, I'm a huge fan and proponent of female characters, and this game is clearly only gonna have males in the main playable cast, something that hasn't happened since FF1 (or FF3, if you wanna count the original version and not the DS remake). So that's pretty much another point against its favor.

    I'm hoping I'm proven wrong, but I'm not as optimistic as the rest of you are.

    Just checked FF Wiki, and yes, she was. So that's 3 that had (up until now) the only all-male cast.

    So, PS3 owners who got their system partially for Versus are now required to buy an entirely new system for this game after waiting an entire console generation for it.

    Wut?

    Hey, we don't know all of the characters yet. There are at least a couple of girls in that headline image they're using showing off characters, I wouldn't be surprised if one of them becomes playable.
