I'm looking forward to both of them.

I'm not looking forward to FFXII because it's another FF game, but rather because of the dramatic change the gameplay is supposed to undergo, so I guess it's the fact that it's going to hold less similarity to the series in general than any other FF game in the past that interests me the most.

I'm looking forward to Dragon Warrior/Quest VIII because, "OMG it's Dragon Warrior! In full 3D!". The non-comformity to constantly updated visual standards is probably the primary reason the Dragon Quest series isn't as popular outside of Japan. Hopefully the newest title will help to build a much bigger fanbase in the U.S., Europe, and Australia.
