Speaking from a purely visual standpoint, this game looks terrifically beautiful. The character designs are warm and charming, the landscapes are sharp (one of the latest shots I saw had tall green grass and a covered wagon or something--really nice), the magic effects are some of the better I've seen, and it has a very cinematic feel to it. Seriously, those character designs are wonderful. From this standpoint, I am very, very excited about this sucker. As for the gameplay and story, I have no idea, I haven't read much on it, and I don't care. I'll play it and let you know then. ;-)
By the way, Grey Ninja, your FF list's number 1 was perfect. Call it nostalgia, but those two are the best. I simply cannot imagine appreciating Final Fantasy without adoring FF 2/4 and 3/6 (darn it, this gets complicated...haha). I'll never forget playing FF3/6 for the first time and seeing that beautiful, snowy mode-7 into as the city drew nigh and the best song Nobuo ever wrote faded in slowly, perfectly in-sync with the on-screen graphics. No polished cinematic Square has done since has matched that magic. If you ask me. Just thinking about it makes me want to boot it up again. I think I will, with the stereo up really, really loudly. FF6--best music of any videogame, period.
