Well I'm deffinitely glad it's not a direct sequel, though to be honest I actually quite enjoy the more complex battle systems employed in most ff games, as it can be quite satisfying when you finally master it.

I carry my ds like everywhere with me so it'll be nice having another handheld ff game(ff3 will be the other one). But I am a bit worried they'll simplify it too much.

Well I don't think random battles really make it simplier just different, ffxiii may (I hope) have random battles again. I've never ever liked enemies appearing on the map.

I'm the opposite I bought a psp and ds but feel the psp was a total waste of money, while the ds has an ever increasing library of good games, what does the psp have? The only game I spent any long amount of time playing on my psp was metal gear acid, while the ds has castlevania( 2nd only to the amazing symphony of the night) new super amrio bros, mario kart ds, advance wars 2 sonic rush etc.

Sorry for the rant but I just don't see what the psp has games ways that makes it anywhere enar par with the ds at the moment and with this game +ff3 on the way the ds will have even more of an edge.

I have 3 DS' long story. But yeah they made sure to say it wasn't going to be like x-2 which can only really be a good thing.

Yeah agreed, the psp has more powerful hardware but game ways there is very very little worth getting.
