For me, it's the same every time.

1. Current FF is the best thing since sliced bread.

2. New FF announced, screenshots appear, looks awful.

3. Get the hints of the storyline and background, and it sounds horrible.

4. Hear things about the experimental new battle system, it sounds very dodgy.

5. Actually get to play the new FF and get completely blown away and wonder why I was worrying about it in the first place. End up hailing it as one of the best ever.

I think it'll work out not just fine, but brilliantly
