@langdonx: A large portion of the Internet hates the XIII trilogy, so until Lightning's story is over, they're gonna continue to shit on the series. There's a good chance that people hop on the bandwagon again with XV.

You guys are crazy, this game is going to be great. The demo plays great too -- reminds me of FF12 with a mix of X-2's combat (best combat).

I don't like FFXIII very much at all. But, the idea of taking souls before the world ends sounds pretty cool to me! Too bad it's FF and not a new ip. I'd be way into a game where you make armaggedon happen!

That sure is a lot of meters and nonsense. Though honestly, I liked the battle systems in the first two, so I could see myself picking up this at a later date.

Video is messed up.

From what little I've heard and seen I think it looks like the gameplay part of this might be pretty good, or at least interesting, but it's attached to characters and a universe that doesn't appeal to me at all so I'll probably never want to touch it.

@mrcool11: That's actually the sequel time rift. When something gets more sequels than it should ever have, this steps in to try to put an end to the madness. This was first seen with Robocop 3. Eventually the rift will swallow up all of squeenix if they don't stop making FF XIII games.

Dunno if it's a bug with the video player or a problem with the video file, but the screen is messing up in ways I haven't seen here before.
