My friend and I feel that the gameplay for this is like Devil May Cry on absolute steroids. It REALLY looks like it's more of a hack n slash than the traditional RPG that FF has built its reputation on. Which I find new and bold for them to think of doing. Think about it, every other big industry game is too scared to change their mechanics. Pokemon games haven't changed at all in the last 20 years, besides some VERY minimal graphical "upgrades". And then you have Call of Duty games that just don't do anything different. And here you have Final Fantasy just telling everybody to sit the smurf down and show us a grand ol' time.

I like the changes that it's going for, but I'm more eager to see how it plays out. The combat that we've seen thus far looks faster than anything I've ever seen in a video game. And I'm very fond of the Hack n Slash genre so that is saying something.
