I just saw a new trailer for it, and right now I'm melting inside!
First things first, I saw grownup Hope. (... He is.. How do I put it? ... Very polite? Civilized? He sounds like a.. Government official I guess..) And to think he was my favorite character.. He dresses similar to his original outfit, but it is more.. Like my avatar I guess? Then I saw Snow o.e... All I have to say to him is.. WTF HAPPENED? He doesn't have a hat on, and his hair is combed back sorta like Aaron from FFX, his outfit is the same but it is black/red now in color. And he looks more.. Buff, and tough.. He scares me now..

The game will be about Time Travel, making paradoxes ect. So pretty much Chrono Trigger. Which makes me a little excited inside.

The game is exactly what Square Enix described it, much darker. From one of the scenes I've seen I already seen Noel (the new hotty hanging around Serah who is apparently from the future and was the last child ever born) killed by the bad guy. And who is this bad guy, well if you've seen the first trailer it is the guy on the title logo for FF13-2. Apparently he can't die..

So after all of what I've seen, this game is probably warming gamers up for the even more darker side Final Fantasy 13 Versus is going to introduce.

Discussion anyone?

Oh on a side note, Square Enix already registered the Domain for Final Fantasy 13-3. So Final Fantasy 13 might be the first trilogy of the ever Expanding Final Fantasy Series.

Im not sure what to think about 13-2 i remeber 10-2 was well a flop so to speak with a cult following plus i never really like 13's battle system but i hear the story was quite good im still waiting for 13 agito and type-0

Snow became a real badass it seems.. He needs his hat... I'm so hoping that the Hope in the trailer is a future version of hope or something. I WANT MY WHINY PATHETIC BOY BACK! D=

I am looking forward to it, if I ever become a serious video gamer again.

The darker the game, the better.

However, even game that comes out only seems to disappoint me further. I have my own vendetta with Square Enix but, for the sake of keeping my FF Goddess title, I continue to buy the games, play them and attempt to retain all of the knowledge that I can. Hopefully, this game doesn't suck balls like it's predecessor. I can only wait and see at this point.

Although it uses the same game play as its predecessor, I am pretty sure that it will be better and not disappoint.

Well, my problem stems fro mthe fact that I played the PSX games growing up. Once the SE team split up and all of the good people left- the magic left the FF line forever. FFX wasn't so terrible but the characters don't draw me in all that well. FFX-2 was a lot of fun because the leveling system is similar to FFIX. FFXII was just... crap. Completely non-compelling. FFXIII was way too futuristic. There wasa complete lack of the abundance of magic present in the past Final Fantasies. It seems to higher the number they go, the less magic there is. :/ That is the point of FF, MAGIC.

So, that is my issue with SE. They haven't made a GREAT game since FFIX and now they're all about making money because their graphics look good. -huff-

I have seen this same type of response on websites before and I agree.

REALLY? I have NEVER seen or heard anyone agree with me on this before- much less an actual website. O_o Wow... that makes me feel so much better xD Maybe the world will start to realize they are being bamboozled. ^^

You would normally see these types of responses on gaming websites. People who had played Final Fantasy sense the beginning and did not like what it has become or you could find comments similar to yours possibly from a product review or game play review of Final Fantasy XIII.

Final Fantasy is not the only series that has not been doing well for a long period of time. There are others such as Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, and Sonic the Hedgehog; although Sonic the Hedgehog has recovered with Sonic Generations, the other two I mentioned were basically ruined for almost the same reasons that Final Fantasy was. The only difference is Final Fantasy was not completely ruined like the other two.

[Ishu]

I completely agree. The original Crash and Spyro games were awesome. My favorites are time warp and year of the dragon. ^^

Thank you for enlightening me to this. I don't read gaming sites and the like but I'm just glad I'm not to only one.

To me it is sad, the companies want to take a step forward, but they are actually taking a step backward and often do not acknowledge this or acknowledge it but do little about it.

Mean while you have the people who have supported them in the past that are aware of the problem. For example you realize what the problem is with the Final Fantasy series, however the company fails the acknowledge the problem or does not care enough to correct it, thus creates more games that allot do not want.

[Ishu]

This is so unbelievably true. :c I once had a personal goal to work for SE in Japan and help them make games and all that- but as time went on and I watched them completely fail at what they used to be the best at, I reconsidered.
