Yeah, I'm looking forward to the spectacle of it all. All of it so far sounds terribad and should be pretty hilarious.
But still. I want a FF story that's interesting. It feels like just yesterday we had FFXII with its interesting plot and fantastic Alexander O. Smith translation. What happened?
Now we have (if I understand this right):
'One day while Lightning is missing, the town gets attacked by monsters. Serah (now with 50% less clothes) is in trouble(!) and suddenly is rescued by a mysterious handsome stranger (oooh!), who also happens to be the last surviving human from an apocalyptic future (ahhh!). They set off an an adventure, accompanied by a magic moogle who can transform into weapons to help Serah fight and can now travel to different time periods looking for her sister. Cue motivational speeches about Serah fighting on her own and now being the one doing the rescuing.
Meanwhile, Lightning is in another dimension, fighting as a super warrior protecting a mystical shrine while dealing with her "fated rival".'
Wow, just wow. I hope Type-0 takes a cue from XII and has a (relatively) decent plot and storytelling. Come on, Tabata! Of course we don't even know if that game is coming out in English, while this game already has English media and a a release scheduled -_-
