FFXIII decision

Yes, I have decided whether Final Fantasy XIII will be in my collection or not, but first; whats up with the name? I have been wondering this for some time now, and the fact that after more than thirteen games still chooses to keep the "Final" is really ironic and pretty funny. I guess Square Enix isn't too keen on removing such a household name as Final Fantasy, plus Another Fantasy would just sound retarded.

I like how the series has always kept the titles easy and consistent, contrary to most ongoing franchises who stops using numbers in favor of ridiculous names that rarely make any sense in the context of the game. This is frankly more common in movies than games, but it still occurs. Final Fantasy thirteen does sound a bit redundant, but at least it's not Final Fantasy: Lightning and a Black Guy. One small detail annoys me though, why do they insist on writing the numbers in roman? I guess one could argue that it looks cooler, or maybe that it fits the style of the game, but it's a pain in the arse to write down. I may be slightly overreacting, but typing 13 in roman requires me to press 2 1/2 as many keys (CAPS LOCK, X, I, I, I). The only positive thing will be when Final Fantasy 30 comes out.

I realize I went overboard and got kinda lost in my own head when writing this, and completely forgot what this post was supposed to be about, but here it is.

I am getting FFXIII, because a friend said if I didn't get it, he would come to my house and set my hair on fire.
