damn! I am WAYYYY more stoked for this then XII. A female lead, and a well designed one!

It IS kind of refreshing to see she's wearing some clothes.

Nuh-uh, ALL the female leads had some clothes on. Bring on the scantily clad ass kickers!

Looks like they took all the crazy stuff Yuna did in X-2 and placed it in a Return of the Jedi backdrop.

LOL ORIGINALITY.

Maybe they should have a 70 year old male lead...

WITH A GATLING GUN.

Looks like Yuna in space. Or Ultraviolet. Whatever.

Is that a gunbladed sword I see? I can't see this one at school but at ign I saw a trailer and it looked like a gunbladed sword.

It looks like Yuna is trapped in Xenosaga.

Seems like Yuna got a sex change, started working as a geisha, but got caught up in some cliche conspiracy... which oddly, is getting televised on FOX tonight.

I have pretty much ceased to care about Final Fantasy. I mean, I still haven't even seen Advent Children.

Even if it is Yuna in Space, I think it will be refreshing to not have to stare at a bare chested blonde girly man.

Plus it looks pretty cool in some ways. Who knows, it might have a really deep and good story.

This is GREAT news! I was waiting for the next installment of Final Fantasy to suck so I wouldn't even have to think about getting a PS3, and now Square does the BEST THING EVER! The more this game is like FF8, the better. KUDOS SQUARE!

Re: Final Fantasy XIII (if you did'nt like VIII run for it!)

The setting looks like a refreshing change of pace, but not much else. The androgynous characters are stale, and have been stale since FFVIII 7 years ago.

I have pretty much ceased to care about Final Fantasy.

About the same here, I just don't find the point of playing them anymore. Square may have top notched eye candy, but the story is recycled over and over. Also the battle systems for the FF series is pretty bland now-a-days. IMO, the best battle system came from FFX-2 (too bad that is the only good part about that game.) I personally, enjoy the less popular games like the Shin Megami series, Shadow Hearts, Xenogears. I find they have unique or at least have interesting stories and enjoyable gameplay.

Aside from the gunsword and the 90%-not-fantasy-ness, I don't see the resemblence to FF8.
