Some people in Japan aren't happy about the look of FFXV

[DMKA]

I really don't understand the complaint about it looking too real. A lot of the past FF's have had an urban fantasy setting. It's just now the PS4 can SHOW the details.

This.

Final Fantasy VII would have looked a lot like this had the technology been available at the time.

Coincidentally, from the NBC interview:

Nomura: "So if you look at "FFXV," it starts in a very modern world similar to Shinjuku (in downtown Tokyo), but when the story starts, you go to the medieval world — but the weapons they are using are high tech-weapons; that kind of combo is what I like.

Sounds just like Final Fantasy VII actually.
