I think they did this for one quite obvious reason. One of the biggest criticism FFXII got was for the battle system. A lot of the "fans" hated the battle system. Most preferred the "random encounter" enemies and allies on opposite ends. Square pretty much has a catch 22 going on. No matter what they do, they will be criticized. You can't please all the people all the time.

I'm also not one to get overly excited about a game anymore. Sure I look forward to games, but they don't do anything for me like they use to. I still love RPG's and such, and I either play them until I've perfected it, or until I get bored with it. I pretty much buy every RPG I have time for on the systems I own. If I get a PS3, I'll get the game, if not, owell. No single game will ever sell a system for me, regardless of how "amazing" it is. EVERY game has it's flaws. And NEARLY every game has it's strong points (there are a few with none.) But there has never ever, nor will there ever be, a flawless game. Perfection is impossible in a human society, because someone will always find something to complain about.
