It does suck. However, there's a lot of apparent similarities between XII and X.

Vaan - Tidus - The teenage, blonde-haired, somewhat girly looking hero. Hopefully has a more manly voice than Tidus.

Ashe - Yuna - Teenage, darker-hair, bears a place of good social standing, Yuna being a summoner, Ashe being a princess. However we still don't know if Ashe and Vaan get together like Tidus and Yuna, as it seems she's marrying someone else

Penelo - Rikku!! NOOOOOO!!! I hope not, but I'll bet penelo will be an annoying, over-active, hyper, wimp, who's quick enough to get the first hit, but not strong enough to be useful. Hehe....anyways, I'd imagine, like Rikku, Penelo will be the younger, upbeat teenager, who maybe has a crush on Vaan. And maybe they get together.

Basch - Auron. Older, stronger, more mature warrior. Or so it seems. Both bearing scars.

Balflear - can be a throwback to airship owner/pilot Cid, in FFX and FFVII, and the lady loving / gunwielding Irvine in FFVIII.

Fran - Bringing in new races like in FFXI, which I haven't played.

Always similarities in the characters from FF game to game.
