Too many guns?
I feel there are too many guns in Final Fantasy these days.
When I decided to buy a Wii instead of a PS3, one major factor holding me back was FFXIII. However, when I saw the trailer it put me off completely. Not a sword in sight, and too much new technology.
I'm now fully behind the Wii, because although I never played Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, the new trailer for FFCC:CB looks amazing.
What does everyone else think of this? Do you like all the guns or do you prefer hitting things?

I'm okay with the whole high-tech stuff, although I do prefer swords...gunblades, to be exact. Guns are cool too, but I believe that they are really weak compared to swords ((Final Fantasy XII, for instance.) And swords...well they're just classics. So I'm really sticking with gunblades here. A little bit of this and that.

I'm wondering if you meant FFVersusXIII? Well I don't see anything wrong with a few guns since their hasn't been many characters who use guns. Barret, Vincent, Squall (Sort of) Irvine and Balthier. I like to see a change in weapon for a protagonist rather than a sword as apart from FFIX and FFI, the protagonists usually have swords (or to start of with atleast).
EDIT: That's one thing I am liking about FFAgitoXIII is that the supposedly protagonist uses a deck of cards which would probably mean he is a Gambler type character and I think it is a good change from the usual cliche that the hero always has a kick ass sword. Too bad I probably won't even get this game.

In real life, guns can be more effective than swords if handled properly. FFXII messed up on this point, but I dunno, maybe those guns use musket balls or something. Whatever the case, the sound of a sword thwacking enemies...
*Sigh* you can't beat it...

Supposedly, her gun turns into a sword, which...like you said, it's still a put off. I'm not into industrial futuristic games.
Versus XIII does look like it's worth the wait though. While it's battle system is a HUGE put off...it does retain the original "oldschool" weapons and magic venue...apparently...

Yeah, I think that's the best idea. And, there's always the option of a bow.

I absolutely love IX for the exact same reason. It was PURE, undiluted fantasy. It just fit the name Final Fantasy perfectly. Knights, kingdoms, kings, lords, mist powered airships, mages. It was beautiful because it didn't have anything modern and futuristic.
