    And the difference between Squaresoft then and Square-Enix now in regards to the FF development team is?

    I know my history but I also know my FF design teams

    God knows my entire FF experience is ruined if I don't have the same party formula that has existed in half the franchise. :rolleyes2

    Seriously though, I do not want the creators of XIII to make good on their claim of XIII being like X. We've had enough of that crappy game...

    You pest... Final fantasy X was arguably the best final fantasy of all time... maybe on the same level as FF VII and FF IV... final fantasy X will live on forever.
    This

    FFVII was my favourite of all time until X came out, a truly amazing story and game.

    I kind of had my tongue in cheek with the perky girl thing. There are lots of things that I think "make" Final Fantasy, many of which they destroyed/omitted in XII, but the irritating Selphie type character isn't one of them. It's just better to laugh at the sight of the latest one than to cry.

    A little off topic, but if you ask me Selphie seemed to me kinda different from the other perky girls

    I always considered her as the archetypal spunky FF girl. She just seemed to of set the mark for me.
    EOFF needs a resurgence to it's former glory.

    I agree, she was the original. She was "different" though, where "different" means mentally retarded

    You know, my only problem with this is that no one has yet to explain thoroughly what this "lacking quality" was...

    Anyway, as for the "perky girl". I hate this archtype, second only to the main heroine archtype. It was okay in VI cause Relm played off Strago and it was funny; but mostly cause the two didn't have enormous amounts of screen time. Yuffie is my second most hated character in the series behind Yuna, Selphie was ok but once again its because she has not so much screen time and luckily Squall generally reflects my opinion of the situation, Eiko was obnoxious and luckily can be ignored, Rikku is obnoxious and annoying (though I do like her better in X-2 surprisingly), and Penelo... really doesn't fit the bill but Vaan is pretty close and yes he's the least likable cast member in that game too.

    So what I'm saying is please SE, please stop using the same damn team archtype from the last couple of games. XII was refreshing, lets keep it going.

    So far we know of at least Cross Dress Cloud and Selphie 2.0. So I wouldn't hold your breath on that one

    You forgot "grown up KH2" Seifer

    Am I the only one who has noticed that Snow looks like Seifer minus the scar and sporting longer hair. Its not even his face and color coordination, the jacket is spot on only missing the sword emblem.

    I think it's just the clothes and hair color...I don't see that many similarities with the face. Maybe we need another comparison chart thing!

    Seifer looks too much like a younger Rufus for me to be bothered by it anyway

    That red-head is CUTE!

    ...and yes, I realize she has the same hairstyle as the Wendy's girl, but that still doesn't bother me...

    And I'm getting the feeling like that "Lightning" girl is gonna be like a female version of Squall from FF8. The red-head being more like Selphie.

    The games I've beaten...

    I think FFXIII would be perfect if:
    The story was as mature as FFXII, but a lot more interesting (i.e. actual character development)
    A mix between FFXIIs and previous battle systems. I dont want automated battling, but ive also grown tired of the 'shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhrum - dededadadededada' oh look its a battle....
    NO STARWARS MUSIC! AND GET RID OF THE CLONETROOPERS!
    Seriously, the music from the trailers reminds me way too much of FFXII and star wars. FFXIIs music wasnt bad or anything, but it was always only background music, it never really satisfied anything.

    I'm excited! Not that I have a PS3 or an XBOX 360, but still!

    I really just wanna see the summons! They've been showing teasing little clips in the trailers, and I want more! The summon designs look so captivating! And if i'm looking at the same screenshots as everyone else, I think the battle system looks really interesting! It looks really fast-paced...

    And Oerba?...I actually like that!

    Well, we've already seen Shiva, Ifrit, Carbuncle, and Siren, so...no new ones that we know of.
