Final Fantasy XIII Not Due Overseas Until 2010

Final Fantasy should have ended with the first one; or they should change the name from "Final Fantasy". I'm really quite tired of seeing sequels for a game labeled "Final"; it seems to me that it's oxymoronic to have eleven plus final-somethings.
They're all horribly poorly-acted games anyway; I can't stand or bring myself to care about any of the characters, and that kills any vestiges of good gameplay for me, especially when I have to sit through twenty-five thousand unskippable, forty-five-minute-long cutscenes involving them and their angsty or overly-gung-ho attitudes. Which seems to be the case with anything involving anime or that is from Japan.
I won't be losing any sleep over missing this one, I could just go back and play one of the other ones and have the same experience. Or just play an entirely different game altogether and have an even better experience.

If I have to wait, I'll wait. I'll be able to see if the changes will be a good thing or a bad thing (I rather enjoyed FF12, 'cause it was still, you know, the same sort of Final Fantasy deal, except in real real-time and with people moving around a little bit more, I mean, you introduce an "active" ATB and introduce actual movement into it and then suddenly everyone starts bitching about it. It's NOT THAT DIFFERENT."
Edit: Combat in FF13 doesn't look too different either, just maybe a little more cinematic, like what PoP tried to do. Difference is, Final Fantasy is more Turn-Based to begin with so you're not going to have much complaints about that.
