Played the demo. Seems like it will be really good. Already got my copy reserved.

A lot of people complained about XIII being too linear, but this one seems to be the exact opposite. A lot of freedom and time travel. 9 different endings I think so far, and new game+ once you beat it. Lots of DLC incoming for this. Also in-game items for having a cleared save from XIII.

I like the monster recruiting and customization. Eventually you will be able to recruit other characters too, like Lightning.

I want to like FF XIII, but I can't stand the combat sequences. FF XII's open world was so much better, why Square Enix didn't include that in XIII is inexcusable.

I think most of that is because they're fugitives. Once they get to where they're no longer fugitives (Pulse), then things open up. So I think it was more of a story direction than game design direction. I don't expect they'll do it again with the backlash they got.

XII is by far my favorite.

I like Tactics a lot. Especially the PSP remake that introduced new jobs, battles, and fixed the story a bit.

The only FF I played is that one game with all the girls on it as the main characters on the ps2. Boy did I have fun with those pretty girls back in my day ; )

The mini-game where you gave this blonde chick the massage was one of my all time personal favorites
