...its weak of me, but I am starting to get excited for the game.

I'm almost afraid to ask what's going on in this picture.

Some...odd screens. Especially this:

I can't help but imagine a missing line of text dialogue that should be written near the bottom.

Yeul whatshername: Good work, doggy! You've chewed that man's legs off!

And I love how the dog's...I mean, Caius's sword looks physically bigger than her in every way.

Noel? Yeul ---> Yule? Is there some kind of Christmas theme going on here?

That trailer scared the crap out of me. Engaging? Exciting? Renowned battle system? Testing the player's skill? Strong-willed protagonist? Smash hit?! Pray tell, what version of Final Fantasy XIII did HE play? He's clearly reading this off prompt cards and probably hasn't even seen the footage he's advertising! That is some extreme brainwashing marketing, right there

Also, if Caius gets shipped with that loli, I'm not going to be pleased. I'll just bet she's the final boss, though. It's exactly the sort of stupid stunt Square Enix would pull for a "twist" to it. I think I'd sooner read Inheritance than I would read the "story" for FFXIII, as well.

This is all horrifying, on so many levels. I've been annoyed, disgusted and outraged, but I don't think I've ever been actually SCARED before. This is has been wrapped up in a pretty package of lies and false advertising, and served with a smile, and it's damn creepy. It's like the entire industry is just going to sit back and pretend that they've accomplished something here, and they clearly expect the fans to do the same.

I tell you now, I will NOT love this pile of sparkly shit, damn what that Borg in the trailer says. Resistance is not futile.

It's looking pretty awesome! I've always said that though...

I wasn't sure how the recruited beasts would work, but I'm liking the look of it. The powerful attacks are also interesting.

I'm not sure about the lack of enemies on the field. I liked not having random battles in XIII... I'm also not sure they've made enough changes to the battle system itself... I still see Auto battle there!
