So this? Technically awesome. I mean, it's FFVI characters in 3D, controllable, and specifically it's Esper!Terra in 3D, and the part of my childhood brainstem that's hooked on the etherealness and alien wonder that is Esper!Terra - the transformation into this lightlike being of magic, the liminality of being half-human, half otherworldly entity

...we've kind of been having that feeling for the past few years, honestly-- that Sakaguchi or whoever's supervising this stuff now has become the George Lucas of RPGs. ._. We were actually kind of looking forward to watching Advent Children just for the nostalgia factor, but ended up enjoying it more for the cheese and the funneh (Shinra cellphones! They even ring underwater), because the plot was, well, fail. If you can call it a plot.

FFX-2 definitely seemed to us like Square exploiting its own brand name, although I would tend to say that at this point, Kingdom Hearts is going off in its own direction and one that I like so far, and that transcends some of its source material. I don't know how long that'll last, though.

I...want to see them and play as them (Terra! Cecil!), but I want to explore a world and fly around as Esper-Terra, not just fight... ;_;
Aa...Kefka's giant purple mouth is really scary. I can't help but feel like they're trying to recall The Joker... (On the other hand, whenever I hear people refer to The Dark Knight, I first think of a certain someone else... XD)
(... ...a certain someone else who happens to be in this picture, omg, apparently now with random floaty baubles?)

When you want some quick magic item bonuses but have run out of slots, you obviously turn to Ioun stones.

Maybe you could find a way to string little glass baubles/beads through your hair, like the kind you find at craft stores. That would actually look really neat if you could find a way to twine them all through....

I'm just in it for the Zidane Tribal fanservice. Mrowr.

I do really like the random floaty baubles a lot, though... Not worth it!

That's how I feel about it, too. "We take seriously the idea that they wouldn't." And for me as well, there's a feeling that... not so much that their characters are being warped from what they should be, which is probably more how it is for you, but "if they were to do this it must mean that they were in some dire horrible situation, like gladiatorial combat". And that's not something I want to think about either.

On the other hand, Mugen doesn't ever pretend to be anything but crack, I don't think, and "because it was possible" as a pretext for a match between anyone. So, no disturbing implications about anyone being forced to cage-match each other, really.
