Of course I'm fucking getting it. I own copies of every Final Fantasy with the sole exceptions of V, which is a shame, and XI, which is common sense. I was great. VII was great. X was great. XII was great. Fuck it, X-2 had enough good points for me to play till 100%! So jog on, you spoony bards.

Maybe, I was really stoked about it at first. But after I heard some things about it, like it being more action orientated and less story driven, I'm now a little iffy on it. I might rent it first, just to be safe. I even heard theres going to be no towns where you can go in and buy stuff and just relax, that too made me a little iffy.

eh, I've had a falling out with JRPGs, and I from what I've seen, I'm really unimpressed. It looks like a rental, but even that...meh. "Nah, I'll pass" for me.

I think I'll just end up renting it. I'm saving my money for Bioshock 2 when it comes out this month and I don't have the time for FF's 200+ hour epic story at the moment.

The only Final Fantasy games that I've actually played are 9, 10 and 12. I never really got into 9 or 12, but I'd probably put 10 in my top five favourite games, so I'll be giving Final Fantasy 13 a try even because of that alone.

It all depends how much money I have and if the game is good or not (the former is more likely)

Maybe, but not for a while. The first RPG I plan to get this year is Half-Minute Hero for the PSP

If I had a console I would have pre-ordered it by now. Alas I'll just have to settle with Agito until I can muster up enough money and enthusiasm to buy a PS3.

Probably not...

Final Fantasy X was really good, but the others haven't even been close to that one...
Square Enix has openly admittedly FFXIII will be of similar quality to its earlier predecessors, citing FFX as a key component of how the story will be told, thus your preverbal campfire scenes, heavy emphasis on character development and so forth are present. If you found FFX appealing I recommend offering FFXIII at least a rental.

Nonetheless I would not be astonished if FFXIII out sells Mass Effect 2. The series is immensely popular. It is definitely upon my "Must buy" list.

I'm an avid collector of Final Fantasy games and merchandise so I'm definately getting it. I pre ordered the collectors edition for the PS3 and standard for Xbox 360. Even though I've read reviews saying the game is very linear and has no towns and bugger all NPCs I'm still going to buy it, play the crap out of it and if it sucks... complain to Square-Enix and tell them to sell the franchise to Mistwalker to save the franchise before even Herbert West(Re-Animator reference kiddies)can't even bring it back to life.

13 is the first Final Fantasy with a female main protagonist and if you don't want it you're a sexist bastard.

Haha, just kidding, you guys are great.

But yeah, I want FF13 more than I want a game that dispenses kittens out of the consol every time you play it. Because it's the first Final Fantasy with a female lead and I thought 12 was pretty good. That's right, GOOD. I just hope they consentrate more on making the plot compelling this time.
Both of the main characters of FF6 were female.

Also the writing was what made 12 good.
...Really? Well, that makes me feel like an asshole. I only played 1, 2, and 7-12, but I just assumed they all had male leads because, you know, Japan and sexism.

I didn't find the plot of 12 to be at all interesting. The opening cut scene drew me in, but after that it kind of fell on its face and was dragged along for the rest of the game. I enjoyed the gameplay much more than the plot.

I just pray that the characters will be better in 13 than in 10. Please, god, let them have depth! And be less annoying! And if the plot could make a little bit of sense, that would be nice, too.

I didn't like 10.
