Square have said in an interview that they want 13 to be popular in ten years time like 7 is now. They obviously looked a little too long and hard at 8 and 7 to see why their still popular becuase there are a lot of similarities between them ><
Even the plot so far is very final fantasy 7..
Even so I think this game will be popular becuase graphically its very nice (all those graphics whores want >_>) and some people will buy any old rubbish Square make, I do think that they will lose a lot of the older fans though on this one.
I think its Seifer's dad or Seifer grown up
Oh, and his name is Snow by the way and the lead character is called lightning <_>
Cloud
Squall
Snow
Lightning
Whats next? River?
