Some random thoughts after viewing the trailer:

• Square Enix is an amazing company when it comes to production values. Even if you’re not a fan of their games, you have to give them that.
• After so much time, we finally get some lengthy footage and you could tell they’re pushing that PlayStation 3 hardware.
• I hope Lightning remains the strong woman that she appears to be. We need more of this in videogames.
• Snow seems like your typical nice guy.
• That battle system is genuinely intriguing. I have so many questions about how it works.
• The sample soundtracks are phenomenal.
• Damn Square Enix for delaying the North American release until the Xbox 360 version is finished.
• Curse Japan and their early demo with the Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete (Trailer) Blu-ray bundle.
