FFXII was fine outside of some of the characters stinking and a major pacing issue for the last half of the game. Gameplay was really fun and if they could wedge a proper story into that game, it'd be exactly what I want from modern FF.
If reviews for XB were good, I'd probably buy it and sit on it for a while. Too many other gaming priorities already, but if it did come out I imagine it might be slightly tough to find. maybe not
