I seem to recall that an IGN guy had seen FFXIII played in action a long time ago when he was interviewing SE about it. Does anyone remember him saying things like "...they were flying an airship through the town, and you couldn't see the end of it."?

I was just thinking about this recently. Imagine FFXII-like towns that are huge in scale, but imagine that times ten. Then imagine flying through them, controlling your airship. If this is indeed in the game, I am probably going to jizz my pants.
