Sometimes it hits, sometimes it misses, but at least they try to shake things up unlike most major games in the industry.

Still, obviously they'll need to involve chocobos and stuff. I think things like the Iron Giant scene show that it most defintely still has the FF vibe.
Yeah well I'm all for the FF series reinventing itself but I was more having a gripe with was gameplay wise. Maybe i'm just scarred from XIII but because I was that disappointed with it I'm skeptical about XV. I think it looks great and everything but I'm not the biggest fan of action adventure games - just hope this resembles the gameplay of past FF's before XIII (XII ideally), and not as linear.

Best looking Final Fantasy game EVAR! But of course the hate train "This doesn't look like FF" has to roll around. Good thing SE is moving forward in this direction. They have turn based games and whatever on other platforms. Go check em out. Stop complaining that the new AAA titles aren't using a combat system from the 80's and 90's. This may seem like counter-whining on my part, but this was probably the best thing the Japanese side of SE has put out in a decade or more and it's total BS that there are some FF fans deriding it before it even comes out.
Relax there lad. I'm anything but a hater, just voicing my concerns (read above). I'm not a retro fanboy either. I just don't want FF to become a game that goes against the type of games that it used to produce.
