-Fantasy setting, as opposed to a modern/cyberpunk setting. This is Final Fantasy. It should be fantasy.
I used to think the same way, which is one reason I was turned off by FF7. Now that I think of it, I enjoyed playing FF7.

I guess what is so great about the series is each game is a bit different in terms of atmosphere. However, I would like to see another FF that's like the original in that it closely resembles D&D.
