i believe i read in game informer that square said there would be a love story, it just wouldn't as drawn out as ffvii-x. the real focus would be on the war-plot.

personally, almost all ff's i've played have everything:romance, betrayal, action, humor, and most of all brain-teasers. just because you limit the romance doesn't mean its not gonna be a good love story....just primitive maybe. :rolleyes2

i think it'll help explain the plot a lot more, so i say we wait and find out.
