Yeah, oh my god. All this lack of information is too dramatic. Let's all stay pissed.

Took me a week to move on from XII.

Shito's right; XIII is just the finished game XII was intended to be (except with the camera zoom removed) if they hadn't been forced to release it half-done. SNKP have said as much.

I never bought (or even played) XII, knowing what it was. Of course, I didn't know it was going to be such a long road (if we even ever get there) waiting for a XIII console release.

Yeah. From this p.o.w., one may say KOFXII release has been quite a wide beta testing for the new engine, which is also good. Zoom removing has to be listed in this regard, and I think that's for the better. Also K' team is most likely the only real 'addition' actually made for KOFXIII (settei could even be not from Nona, you may notice as all the three members of that time are way less extreme and characterized if compared to all the others in the game).
NEOMAXs, ES/EX system and other gameplay features are also very likely to be KOFXIII originals. Matter of fact,the game system has improved drastically from the very basical re-start of KOFXII, which seems to be a basis out of which SNKP started to rebuilt at least. The half-game it was, it has not been totally unuseful at least.
Also: Taiso and NeoAlec. You really have no need to quarrel.
You're both great guys with great love for the Neo franchise. We all kmow that. Apart from the way you speak at times, you both support SNK(P) games, you want theme to be good, and you enjoy them. You're really on the very same boat, together with me. A slight, occasional diverging in your personal stance/attitude towards what you like and support (or, towards the makers/creators) just should not set you apart. I know you know, beyond the drama.

I have changed my perspective in regards to XII. I love the zoom, & will miss it in XIII. XII is fuuuun to play w/ people in person, & I'll always wonder who the guy rocking the headress (during the cut scenes & at the end) was...a boss that never made it in as playable?
I don't hate XII anymore...I just long for what could've been.
Whelp, bring on XIII. Now that IVAE has been announced, maybe SNKP will make their move? E3 announcement perhaps?

Hope spring eternal.
But we are both on this site. We know all about hanging on by our fingertips.

It would be nice to have the zoom as a selectable option in the home port.
Please!!! The huge, colorful sprites made the game so amazing.

As for graphics, the zoom is still used for dramatic purpose during certain EX-DM though.
