GamePro Preview: Final Fantasy XIII

In the mythical land of North America, where Final Fantasy sells far better than Dragon Quest, fans of Square Enix’s flagship series have been foaming at the mouth for more details on the elusive Final Fantasy XIII, which was originally announced in a teaser trailer at E3 2006. Since then, Squeenix has spoon-fed the masses with merely minuscule morsels of information, which its ravenous fan base has been more than willing to pounce upon, devour, and scour the net in hopes of even more. But, will the game be able to live up to the excellence of its antecedents and deliver on years of media hype by the time of its release? Well, from what’s been made known so far, it certainly seems to be following the series’ pattern, making just enough changes to be fresh but keeping just enough tradition to be Final Fantasy.
