The main character is the one with the spikiest hair, there will be long and boring cinematics, the game will be picturesque with many bright colours, it will still have a shitty levelling system and the story will be extremely linear.
I believe that was the description for pretty much every Final Fantasy game out there today and future ones. After all SquareEnix is infamous for going stale with their FF games and instead of coming with fresh ideas for new games, are just milking the same old cow.

That can be said about most game devs these days, to be honest. I mean seriously, look at EA and all their games for crying out loud. The only thing preventing BioWare from going on that same chopping block for me is the fact they make some interesting stories. Doesn't mean the gameplay is all that new or innovative.
I've discussed time in and time out with many people about the influx of crappy games and how it looks like it did in the late 70s to early 80s before the video game crash. Take a moment to go walking into a Game Stop or Best Buy, walk over to the Wii or DS section in particular. How many games can you count that is related to some TV Show or lame Celebrity. Seriously, who buys a game made after the Olsen Twins? Who plays a Pony Game on the DS? Before anyone says that a 6 year old girl does, I would task you to go find one. Bet you a million bucks you can't.

I actually can :)
want my million bucks now :)
My neighbour daughter's playing the pony shits on PC and wii :P
Although I also said it a lot recently, there are so many crap games it's hard to play anything reasonable, if it's not a decent MMO then finding a decent single player game is near-impossible. There is too much competition into who makes the prettiest game, instead of who makes the most interesting one.
Game ratings on the websites are not helping either. And that is why most games I do play are either ME/DA or some games on PS2. I just remembered I would add another game to my PS3 empire, Ar Tonelico 3. Love that series and the gameplay is decent.

The entire video game industry gave up making good games around 2008 when they realized they can pump out mediocre games for cheap that millions will buy because of the general social acceptance of video games as a form of entertainment.
But there are good games out or coming out, just the number has reduced. Better swerve back on topic
So XII-2 is coming out January before Versus which will be some time next century? The game-play of versus doesn't look too bad, what does everyone else think?
Havoc10K:
The number has reduced greatly.
