anyone getting this game for PS3?

This game looks very promising, stunning graphics, very nice character designs and music, and beutiful backrounds. Also they changed the Final fantasy battle system completly now, as you can see in the video clip movie... well if u ever saw it. they use no ATB or CT or turn based battles.
i Think its almost like how kingdom hearts plays mostly real time.. but with way more battle features...
im thinking about getting it. i cant wait for it.
shows some girl running doing a sweep kick to 3 enemys at once, then jumping over them and downsplashing then turn hand behind her and doing fire spell. then she flips upside down and shoots them.pretty neat, beutiful graphics too.

Saaaaaad

I doubt its gonna be like kingdom hearts (and i hope its not). If it is in real time, it'll be like FF12, but i dont think it'll be like that either. In the video, you can see the Attack and other commands like you had in previous rpgs. The video just showed the bits where she was actually doing the actions, rather than the bit where you are selecting the actions. If they showed any of the previous final fantasies with only the limit breaks/overdrives, and not the build up, or you selecting the commands it would look that action packed too.

I might consider buying it, but I have to admit I have never been a Final Fantasy fan, so most likely no, and I don't think it will be as good as the original Final Fantasy games, which I have played. Old School

Yeah they change all the battle system why?? the old atb system is great like in old school, why they change it ,final fantasy need an atb system not a semi-atb system or action system. Why they dont do game like Chrono Trigger or Final Fantasy 6 or seiken densetsu 3 this three games are far better than final fantasy 8-9-10-11 or other crap rpg of this day!!!

Vive Old school rpg

They didn't change the battle system for FFXII! You have the option just like in FFX-2 to go back to the old fashion was if you like. How ever FFXII as far as i know will not support that feature as well (such as the whole idea of mobs around the area joining, but this fact may be a myth now)
Any ways I am confused on that title, FFXIII and FFXIII (Same thing) any ways I cannot wait for it, I believe they will stay with the new system. Square-enix some time ago said they have changed to this because it is the way they really wanted to do it but wasn't able to do it with the technology they had back then.

Lothia is right. And another reason is because people don't want the same thing over and over again. They want something new, not the "same old crap", as some would call it. Believe me, I think the ATB system is great, but the thing is, people want change. Also, for example, if you had the technology to hold a thousand songs on a small portable item, would you want to create it instead of CD players? This is the question that Apple had to ask themselves when they created the iPod. So it's all about advancing technology and newer breakthroughs. They can only recreate the ATB system so many times until it gets boring and no one wants it anymore. Now, Square is taking a different approach and targeting the newer generation with technology instead of appealing to the gamer of yesteryear and keeping the same thing since FF1.

Yep and if no one noticed about 3 years ago SE said they would be doing some different things over the years. First was FFX-2 (I thought was great) then they have the Crystal Chronicles for Game Cube (I was never able to play) then they had FFXI which was online. They also had I believe one other game but I cannot remember. Now FFXII is part of it but not as much as the other ones. Any one know the exact date of release (I bet almost anything it is when I am going to Japan)

500USD, if you want the 600USD, thats for personal preference, the parts can be upgraded over time, except for the HDMI, with or without HDMI, you can still play games in 1080p. FFXIII alone is reason enough to get a PS3, so plus the other great games coming out, the PS3 is a definite must for me.
