Maybe they made the game so "radically" different from the "traditional" FF games so they wouldn't piss off the Sony-only fanboys any more than they already have [by doing anything that doesn't involve Sony]...
Whatever.
All the old school Square fans went berserk when they decided to leave the doomed N64 for the PS, feeling "betrayed" and all that, and now that the big N and Square are back together, and for the first time since the 16-bit era, a Square game, with the Final Fantasy moniker to boot, will appear on a Nintendo system, and it's not exactly what some people thought it was going to be, and may share some similarities with a certain green-clad, elf-like Miyamoto hero's franchise, and what do we get?
More complaints, and a big run-on sentence (sorry about that, by the way).
I went with Square to the PS, not because I understood (at the time) their reasons for "abandoning" Nintendo, or the limitations of the cartridge format, or the fact that there were other big third party developers moving onto Sony's new toy, but because I wanted to play FF7.
Period.
So, just as I did back then, I will do now- where Square goes, I'll follow, as long as the experience lives up to the quality I've come to expect from them.
But then again....
there was driving emotion type s....
and the bouncer... and chocobo's mysterious... oh, crap.

The protagonists will be: Yuk, Selki, Krabat & Lilty. And it seems to be about magical crystals and mana power. In other words:
Final Fantasy + Secret of Mana = FFCC
How original. Now, that's what I call Creativity.
That just pisses me off. I'll agree that I'm quite surprised at the fact that it seems ripped from Zelda. But you make it sound like another Secret of Mana type RPG is a BAD thing?!?
Frankly I'm too happy, because did you ever think that Square wants to make a game like their old N generation incarnations? Yes, I still want to play FFX-2, FFXII and any other PS2 game made by Square, but this looks FAR more promising. I've been waiting and waiting for a good Fantasy based FF, without being so evidently cliche like IX. I'm one of those old-school fans who find the newest FFs not as engaging as the real originals. And seeing a mix between Seiken Densetsu's "Mana" concept and the classic "Crystal" concept from early FF titles appeals to me, as I love both.
It's like teasing Kingdom Hearts JUST because it's Disney. Oh wait, people actually DID tease it and mocked it saying "How good an RPG with Disney characters be any good?" didn't they?
And one final note, since GDS is consisted of Nintendo developers AS WELL as Square, did you ever think that it was more Nintyendo's idea?

Not a bad thing (I'll wait to play the game before judging that), just not original. I only meant to say that Square lately tends to go into easy selling without risking. Ok, perhaps that's a logical option because of their bad economic situation right now, but I'd rather see something new.
