"FFX-2....Intro...Wow!"

I just downloaded and obviously watched the FFX-2 intro and sweet Jesus that game is going to rule!

Yuna, Rikku and Paine all feature, with Yuna performing in a concert and some amazing laser light comm trickery.

If I ever manage to develop a game, this will be it!

well, let's not forget that somewhere near 10 million people play the Sims...

To be frank, you're probably right. But FFX also had a similarly stunning intro sequence, so my confidence comes from that fact the Final Fantasy X was an excellent game. Here's hoping for a repeat performance.

As much as I love Nintendo games, none of them has been played anywhere near as much as even one of my FF games.

And 1.5 million Japanese folk can't be wrong.

Damn - I type too fast to spell properly....

I agree, however the game has had some fantastic reviews in Japan and game is selling like hot-cakes.

I suspect it's a case of... if you like this sort of thing you'll be wetting yourself to get it, but if you don't you may be swayed to try it.

Personally I'm not a huge fan of the FF series - I (like everyone else) have FFVII, but got about 2/3rds through and got bored with the random battles etc - while I did play it it was fantastic.

The response to the revent FF games has been mixed, with many stating that it's all more of the same with little real innovation. Clearly FFXI is a big change, but I sincerely hope that FFX-2 is the biggest development seen since FFVII.

Does it not strike you as a little foolish to judge the quality of a game on the basis of it's introduction sequence, which I'm assuming is CGI, and not necessarily using the game engine?
