i don't known about "watered-down version" but definitely a Fallout 3 clone. could be ok as long as they stick with the same general idea. Anyone else think a Fallout MMORPG may indeed get them to give up sunlight and actual-face-to-face human contact altogether? I do!
why does square enix mess with a proven system (or two). the origional turnbased fight system sounds like a massive improvment over this, and I bet the active battle system in final fantasy XII is better to. i just hope they don't try something revolutionary on the new FF.
