But, you can see by looking at the videos of missions Japanese players have loaded up that it certainly won't revitalise the genre, or take things forward (if anything it looks a step back from 12). Also, while the art style is beautiful, and in places it does look rather nice..videos of the characters running across the field show up a not so nice feature - monsters popping into view not very far in front of the player, such issues shouldn't really be there in a game that's cost so much to produce. So...it'll shift a lot of units as PS3 and 360 owners show Square where the money is (clever Square), but it'll be a false dawn imo.
