Man this game is much faster pace, almost like FFX-2 which had a good combat engine. Seriously, this one has a FFX feel to it! I have hope for this now, since I thought X was a great game.
FFX's battle director is the battle system director for FFXIII, the director of FFX-2 is directing the game and writing the story for FFXIII, co-composer of FFX will be doing the music, so yeah it's got quite the X/X-2 feel to it.
Trailer looked great, and showed off more new characters that was previously shown in trailers only private audiences got to see. The orange haired guy was one of them, as was another, names Gadoo and Lepuro. Also the Shota kid some have seen in other private trailers was in it as well.
Wow didn't even know that! Guess I was spot on lol.
I feel good about this one. It seems like alot of people say Square has been down in their final fantasy series, but really, only XII to me was a letdown. They haven't been lucky with their new IP's though.
Honestly, if this one is even close to what X was, then I'll be very happy.
