Square Enix goes insane with Final Fantasy XIII

Well it was Sakaguchi who wanted to do more technological FF titles (he's the creator of the series, by the way, Lost Odyssey too) He started it with 6, more with 7, and 8 was apparently his favorite, also the last one he was really involved with. Then 9, 10, 11, 12 were kind of blends of both medieval and technological. 13 is by far the most technological they've gone with the series, it would appear. I fully expect a more "medieval" setting for 15.

I don't know. It just looks like more of the same spikey haired, pre-teen jailbait, melodramatic, "Gaia" centered horse-crap to me.

Well, obviously. It's not aimed at people who grew up with the franchise, it's aimed at younger gamers. Thusly making the perfect "protagonist age" somewhere between 15 and 18. Just like the characters in almost every other game.
