To some people, that's why they bought a PS3. But yeah, some do take it too far like when some people were upset when Square-Enix announced FF13 for the 360. I mean, who cares if Square-Enix takes it multiplatform, right?

I think the hype dwindled a bit because SE is taking way to long with the game. Also, when FF13 was first shown, everyone thought this was going to be greatest thing ever. Until games like Gears of War, Oblivion, Fallout 3, Modern Warfare, Batman AA, Killzone 2, Dragon Age, Uncharted 2, etc. started blowing us over and games like Last Remnant, Infinite Undiscovery, or Star Ocean 4 was flopping, I think those things sort of hurt Square-Enix's status as a once top tier developer.

But hopefully FF13 does turn out good. I personally don't think it'll surpass FF12 or some of the past FF games other than graphically. I just feel that FF13 will be more linear, meaning watching a cut scene, go from point A to point B and than watch another cut scene and so forth, which I don't particularly like.

But the main heroin, Lightning, has what got me interested in the game. I was getting tired of those metro bleach blond dudes for the past three or four FF games. It's refreshing to see a female lead again, like Terra from FFVI.

3 reasons:

1.The amount of dissapointing JRPGS this gen is huge.. Other than the handheld games, there havent been any excellent console JRPS(bar Valkyria Chronicles)

2.The main Final Fantasy series have all been excellent,every one of them recieving excellent reception(even though so-called fans hate 8,or 10 for random reasons)

3.This is the 1st current-gen Final Fantasy, and many people's favourite games of all time belong in that series.

I,for one, am picking this up day1, and the reason I believe it kept being delayed was to ensure a quality quality product.

Any hype for the game has been generated by having the name "Final Fantasy" in the title really. We barely know anything about this game beyond that, but I gotta admit, when you have Final Fantasy followed by a number, I have to at least check it out.

A female Cloud is fine by me as long as it's a "she" and not a "he" that looks like a...you know! :P

And I don't really think SE is the only one being creative bankrupt. I think the industry as a whole is riding on sequels for awhile, which isn't really a bad thing as long as the games are good.

But pretentious, yes! Remember how they said before this current gen that they didn't want one console to dominate the market so that's why they wanted to be more multiplatform? Yeah, whatever. And IGN also accused SE to swallow their pride when Last Remnant and Infinite Undiscovery flopped. IU was from Tri-Ace, so we can let that pass, but Last Remnant was supposed to be designed for more with the western audience in mind but it really wasn't because it didn't do anything new or innovative while games like Mass Effect, Oblivion, Fallout 3, and Dragon Age was changing RPGs for this gen!
