If they wanted to make a different type of game then that's fine, but don't make it a Final Fantasy when its anything but. This is how you alienate your audience. Looks like a futuristic shooter going a million miles a second.

I loved the gameplay of FF's pre-XIII, but since its come onto the PS3 era they seem obsessed to make it look as futuristic as possible, losing all the charm and vintage feel of the previous installments. I'm sure I'll have no idea whats going on in battle for half the game if I pick this up instead of sitting back and putting more effort into how best to win a battle and strengthen my characters for an example. I really don't get why Square-Enix are doing this. And its not as if it needs to be done or anything to 'keep up with the times'. If its not broke, don't try fix it.
