Basic JRPG style of game design doesn't fit the requirements for what most people expect from a modern HD generation game. Genre's biggest innovation in the last decade was basically the use of CGI cinemas. I still personally enjoy them but I can see why the general public is losing interest. I like Tales of Vesperia but it's pretty much a PS2 game with pretty visuals.
Genre needs a new AAA flagship title with great innovations to truly bring it to the next generation and I'm afraid that Final Fantasy XIII may under-deliver on that department.
Yeah but combined with the growing super-soldierness of your character while gathering new and upgraded equipment makes the game a super fun arcadey joyride with co-op partner for multiple playthroughs. And then you can always mix it up with crazy goals or speed running. Loving the option to complete chapters in whatever order you want. What a fun little game.
