You're a freak for waiting for a game to be more than a quarter finished before judging it.

Wow, good add-in comment. So, I stand shocked.

This is exactly like what was happening when Final Fantasy XII was announced. Everyone was moaning and whining about "the end of Final Fantasy as we know it", bashing the character designs, bashing the story, bashing the system. Look at how that turned out!! Perfect review from Famitsu and many others, and even X-Play liked it. Granted FFXII didn't have the Nomura name attached to it to attract the hatred of better-than-thou old school FF fans, but still.

Amano is a genius character designer, I will definitely admit that. I absolutely love the old-school games and my favorite FF is IX. But Nomura makes up for his somewhat lacking character design with his touch for story. Let's complete ignore the travesty of Kingdom Hearts II and forcus on the original. I mean, that was a killer story. I like the fact that Nomura has a heavy hand in Fabula Nova Crystallis's world and story formation.

I'm so sick of the Nomura hatred. People whined when he took over and he cranked out Final Fantasy VII, and people still didn't like him. He started Kingdom Hearts and people whined that it would be terrible, and turned out to be amazing. I'll admit that I'm worried about X-2's director handling this, but I think he learned from his mistakes, and honestly most of the bad things about that game probably werent his fault. /endrant

Also, I'm looking forward to another "emo" Final Fantasy plot. It's just not the same without it. The political thing with XII is cool, but I liked the tear-jerking power of Nomura's games.

Actually, as far as EoFF was concerned, many people hyped up FFXII as amazing and fantastic years before the game was released. And when those first few images were released, most people at EoFF were pleased with what they saw. So yeah. I dunno about the rest of the internet, but almost as soon as FFXII was announced certain EoFFers proclaimed that it was gonna be the best FF ever.

i remember some members used to complain about Ashe's overly large behind or at certain times, "moldy butt" there were also people that said ashe looked a lot like yuna. But i guess the majority was pleased like you said. However, those comments are pretty funny

i'm gonna wait for more info about this game. It looks pretty cool since Nomura is behind this and he worked on two of my fav FFs (also the first two i played) i guess i can give this game a chance or two.
