Still not down with the idea that's it's essentially an action RPG. I generally find most games with this style of gameplay messy and boring. What was wrong with it being turn based? Nothing is what. This is how you can alienate some of your audience.
I'll sit on the fence but I'm not hyped for two reasons. The gameplay as stated above, and the whole FFXIII fiasco. I hope for the future of the franchise (and for EoFF mind) that it's a great game and I'm wrong. It just doesn't feel like a Final Fantasy game to me.
