Exactly. 'Real FF Fans' had already decided this game "literally raped my childhood!!!" the moment it was announced that it wouldn't be a 16-bit 2D title, or when it was suggested that Cid might be a woman this time.

A lot of these initial reviews sound promising - TIME, for instance, have highlighted a number of things that sound almost like they're designed for my idiosynchratic tastes and preferences.

I'll give it another couple of days before making a firm decision though.
