my times have changed. there used to be a time where I was excited when a new final fantasy was announced...

@BoredGames Are you familar with Studio Ghibli? The animated movies they create are world renown (Spirited Away?) and enjoyed by children and adults alike. It isn't meant to be creepy or to be playing to some odd japanese fetish- it's a celebration of innocence and a classical heroes journey; the development of an individual that transcends age.

Ultimately if you can't get over the creepiness don't get it. I for one won't be missing out on this experience just because it looks childish.
