I think it's funny, because all of the things fanboys/girls are whining about not being in this game are the least appealing points of the series for me. What, were you only looking forward to it so that you could summon Shiva again? Was the old battle system really so amazing that you'd want to use it in every game thereafter?

How about, you know, just playing the old ones over again? Personally, I don't see the point in spending my money on a new, prettier version of an old game every few years.

What is this much talked about but yet to be defined "feel" of Final Fantasy, anyway? Is it really just the cameos? I don't get it. What's the fuss? As long as the story's good, I see no reason to complain. It's silly to put that much in a title.
