Everyones playing FFXIII-2?

[Cichy]

Yeah, I was looking at Last Story, the cover looks so much like something from a classic FF, unfortunately there's no word if there will be an NA release.

The thing about the "new fans" comment though, if they want to make changes that are too drastic to the series they should give it a new title.

A game franchise should make games for the group that has been loyal and supported it and not go for new fans. If they want new fans they should make a new game, even leave FF in the title like they did with tactics. And they're wrong in the idea that people want "Next-gen" gameplay, just look at the PS1 classics on psn, they've sold hundreds of thousands copies of the old FFs that people already owned, it's because THAT's what people want.

And as far as FF15 comment goes, modeling it after FF7 wouldn't be a bad idea, modeling it after kingdom hearts would ensure that I won't buy it. That was my biggest turn off about 13-2 Noel looks like a character out of kingdom hearts. The first one came out when I was about 10 and I even thought it was gay then, they should not use disney characters/elements in FF, it's like using the teletubbies there's just nothing right about it.

You haven't even tried the game and you're complaining about it. Loyal fans of the franchise are in their 30s and 40s and FF brand desperately needs to attract new customers.
XIII-2 is fantastic, most fun I've had since X. And no I wasn't a big fan of XIII.
Remaking FF7 would a be terrible mistake for them. After how good 13-2 is I actually hope that rumors of 13-3 are true.
Obviously you know nothing about gaming trends and the market out there because this whole thread you've been making unreasonable statements.
