Don't think there's a thread for this yet.....

So what are people's thoughts? I seem to be more excited by this than FFXII. Maybe that's just the sight of those sexy PS3 graphics, or the fact the main protagonist is a woman, and an ass-kicking one at that.

It does seem again to be a techno-futuristic world, which I know won't please everyone.

I did have a good link for a HQ trailer but seem to have misplaced it. Oh well, you all know where Google is. :P

I was initially really excited by this game, but when i got over the hype, I realised it was going to be another ****ing sci-fi.

Come on Squenix, put the fantasy back in Final Fantasy! *shakes fist*

It looks nice... but that's all it's got going for itself so far.

And the character design has to be the dullest yet.

Before we judge the character design, we should wait til we've seen at least a few more characters. I thought FFXII would have terrible characters when Vaan was first shown, but then we got to see Ashe, and Balthier (or whatever his name is.) And they rocked.

I'm looking forward to it... just about as much as XII, perhaps a bit more cause it'll be the first PS3 FF game. But I don't know enough about it to be hyped by it yet. Not that I hype much over anything though.

No, very true. There's not much to see yet.

About the character design...... I prefer it over FFXII's, of what we've seen so far anyway. Some of them are good, but I get the feeling Vaan is going to annoy the hell out of me. Silly when I've not even played it, I know.

Not at all, you can usually tell from the design what sort of personality you'll encounter, and no doubt Vaan is just one of those annoying, cheery main characters.

I quite like that they're going with a female main character again for the first time since FFVI (no, FFX-2 doesn't count), but other than that I don't really know much of anything about this game. I'm withholding judgment until we know more about it.

Terra was a much more original and interesting design, you must be able to say that much.

Off course. Then again, they might do something original with this character like  Spoiler : click to show/hide [ making her half-esper ] . We won't know until we've played the game.
