Damn, that went by fast.
EDIT: So, I'm watching the FFXIII demo, and it seems that it's active time turn based. Which is very good news, to me. That it's not another hack and slash job. Despite the fact that the enemies aren't random encounters. So it looks to be like a 3D version of Chrono Trigger combat system. (Oh, and just as I type that, the commentator says it.) But still, them saying that makes me very happy and more inclined to pick up this game. So that's plus 1 to FFXIII. So far it seems that you can only control the main character and the other characters are controlled by the AI. But I don't have a problem with that in case of turn based battles, since it's how Persona 3 is, and it's like, my favorite JRPG right now.
So far, FFXIII is a lot of flash, and... Well, it's hard to say whether there's any substance to it, since I can't understand Japanese and the demo is in Japanese. Of course, since it's an RPG, and I'll probably need to put in at least 10 hours of gameplay to figure out whether the storyline is remotely good, or just another crappy generic angsty story. But so far, it's growing on me.

I'm glad to hear that you like what you see thus far. As for it's story...It's Final Fantasy. All this talk from people saying that FF has lowered in quality story telling had me become weary of anything related to it. But now, after putting 20 hours into FFXII, I realize those people were wrong. I expect nothing but the finest storytelling available. And seriously, the only thing angsty looking about it is the character of Lightning, but I believe we will get good character development for her and all others. Plus, I'm liking this newly introduced Sazh character lol.
What you should be weary of is FFXIII Versus. What we have seen of the game thus far is MADE of emo bits.
Also, after watching Advent Children again, I change my mind on Cloud (a little). Sure he has become emo, but he's only emo for the first half of the movie. After that, he becomes his usual self. And I won't let that first half ruin the entire experience for me. But I'm still not liking the Sephy trio that much, mostly because they don't even explain where the hell they came from.

Actually, Lightning seems pretty badass. I have a theory about the storyline. So far it looks like a carbon copy of FF7, but what if they're realizing something FF7 didn't. Think about it, FF7 started out as AVALANCHE fighting the Shinra in Midgar. A rebel group against a big corporation, in a smi-post apocalyptic city. Then Sephiroth comes into the picture, and he starts killing Shinra members, so now there's this more important force. And you leave Midgar and there's a whole pretty, natury world outside. And what we started out with is gone. So maybe in XIII, they actually follow through all the way with the Rebel group vs. Evil Corporation plotline? Just a thought. But although most people would disagree with me, I think FF's storylines are going down. Honestly, I haven't played XII, and maybe I'd like the story if I didn't dislike the gameplay. But the last FF game I played was FFX, and even though the gameplay was fun in it (aside from Blitz Ball), the storyline and the characters kinda sucked....
