Toriyama: Lightning Returns will be the most "complete and polished game in the Final Fantasy series

I don't doubt SE will put some real, hard effort to LR (if you disagree then just watch the presentation on youtube...you've at least got to give them credit for all the concept work they've put in already) but I have to admit I'm skeptical that this will be the most polished FF ever. I like XIII and I like XIII-2, but LR is not going to have the same development period as those two games, and it is going to be designed very differently. Some assets will be reused I am sure, but with how different it's going to be, I can't imagine too many making it in without serious modification or a total remake.

If I had to name one FF game that I thought stood out as being the most polished and complete/rounded out, it would be XII. That game was, potentailly, 150+ hours long. LR is going to compete with that? No, we already know that it's going to be a game limited by time. I guess we'll see how well-rounded out an FF game can be with only 30 hours to tell the story.
SE always makes things look like they took some hard effort. Its why many still are skeptical of versus
