Just noticed this thread.
I do hope that FFVIII pic is true though. I really hope, especially since FF8 was (is?) my favorite one, right there with 10 and 10-2. FF7 is a good game but i've never understood what the big deal about it is, I just dont get it. I do get fairly annoyed by Aeris fanboys however.
FF9 wasn't bad but I have to admit I'm not a fan of the Medieval European setting, never have been, probably never will be. If I was then I probably would have liked 9 more than I currently do. As far as FF12 goes...well, I find it to be a total disappointment.
