I just pre-ordered it at EB games yesterday. They say they're expecting it in October, but then again-that's probably the LATEST they're expecting it. I'm not really expecting much out of it, but the fighting looks a lot like Kingdom Hearts 2's battle system (especially Sephiroth's moves, I'm pretty sure they just ripped those out of KH2). I'm getting kinda tired of them milking already good games, but at least they're done with 7 and moving on to something else for a change. (I could be wrong about that though..) I'm just glad it's not a sequel or a prequel to aFinal Fantasy game, and rather it's just like Kingdom hearts, without the Disney/original characters.
They know people liked the idea of crossovers already so they figured they would cash in on it some more I guess. Whatever keeps the majority of fans happy, I guess. Don't get me wrong, I'm not pissed at square, and I'm not trying to sound like I'm complaining. I'm really looking forward to getting my hands on this game but I'm really not sure what to think about it.
I guess I'll know once I play it. : p
