reserved a copy at EBgames. This will be the longest time between playing a Final Fantasy for me, as I easilly passed up X-2 (what a joke! of all the games to make a sequel for...) and also 11 (got my fill of MMORPGs with Everquest back in the day).

I'm looking forward to it, and really hope for the best. I've been quite disappointed with Square since even before the merger, at least as far as the Final Fantasy titles go... Did enjoy 8 and 9, but they didn't come close to being as good as 7 or 6. Ten was a crapfest, imho, which is really sad since Final Fantasy is essentially the franchise that dorkified me into a gamer when I was younger.

But i'm hopeful as hell that this one will be better!
