To be honest, if it has style, and a story that is at least satisfying and intriguing, then I will definitely buy it. As much as I like traditional RPG's, FF had not been doing anything wildly different in a long time, and I think that is why the series, to me, has been losing some of the luster it had in the past.

I'm actually looking forward to this, big time. I think anyone cracking down on it right now is saying too much. You don't have to buy it; Square is just giving us options for those interested. Why complain? It's like going to McDonalds and complaining about the fact that they have a 'light choices' menu now. No one is forcing the salads or the ‘lightly grilled chicken and lettuce on a whole-wheat bun’ sandwiches down your throats, and Square isn’t making you play or buy this game either.
