Final Fantasy XIII TGS trailer -- this time dubbed in English

I've been avoiding a lot of the media and hype for FFXIII, mostly because I just can't get excited for it, and this trailer kinda reaffirms why.

While the game LOOKS good and the gameplay looks FUN, I just can't get over how lame the story and dialog sound. I hate to sound like a grumpy old man, but damn the series has really gone downhill since Sakaguchi left. Matsuno had promise to making the series great, and Sakaguchi even acknowledged that but then the higher ups at S-E prefer their own ideas and drove Matsuno out.
From watching the trailer I saw quite a few issues the game most likely will be talking about, all of them very interesting and following a trend from Final Fantasy games. I'm excited to see exactly how they answer the issues as it will be a part of my evaluation of the game. I'll have to re-watch to check the dialogue but from my recollection I had no major problem with it.


Matsuno leaving was a sad moment in Square-Enix's history.
