A bit TOO futuristic.

[Crossblades]

I love medieval FFs as much as the next guy, but it wouldn't hurt for the series to go futuristic once in a while

[feona17]

dude.. seriously. ff doesn't always have to be all medieval and other worldly

[No.78]

I dunno whether anyone's said this already (cos I can't be assed to read nemore posts), but FFVII was in a futuristic setting. And so was X (except the futuristic bit was in the past... )

I've been waiting for an FF like this for awhile...and now it's on the ps3

[drunkymonkey]

I hope that FF doesn't go all sci-fi. I don't really like completely futuristic stuff. I prefer 9 style settings.

[Weimar Pluto Knight VII]

I thought I wouldn't like 9 so much since I started with 7 and 8, but it was still really good. 5 did suck the first time I played it, but I tried it again later, and it turned out to be pretty good. Then I starting hearing people say that PS version stunk, so I thought, "Oh, maybe it's not the medieval setting, but more the port."

I would LOVE a futuristic FF!

I would LOVE a futuristic FF!

YEAH! Exactly, just to see what it's like.

You obviously haven't played FFVIII - ESTHAR ANYBODY? This isn't a breakthrough FF title, we've had futuristic ones before - make it to sci-fi and the whole thing will suck.

Personally, I think that FFXIV needs to be a more classic fantasy setting, like FFI. I miss that kind of world. Not that I don't like sci-fi. I loved FFVII and thought that FFVIII was good, and they were both modernish. And I think it's about time we had a totally futuristic world, rather than a modern world or a futuristic lost nation like the Lufenians or Esthar (yes, I'm aware that Esthar is not really "lost," but it is to the rest of the world). But after this, they should make FFXIV a classic fantasy game. They havent done that since FFV (for some reason FFIX didnt feel "classic" enough).

[Weimar Pluto Knight VII]

Well, in FFIX, it was the return of the medieval setting AND Yositaka Amano. . .where'd they go wrong? I even liked it, coming from VII and VIII.

There are crystals.

Quite frankly, I don't care what else happens in the game.

I agree. I'm all for variety. Sci-fi and fantasy, they both rule. Even if I like the latter more.

None of the games were completely midieval anyway. There's always going to be airships, so poof, there goes that. (And usually some sort of 'lost technology' theme, which is inevitable.) Whether it isn't modern or not, there will be technology. It just depends on how much. (In this case, a bit more than usual.)

NOT FUTURISTIC ENOUGH!!! and Esthar was just one city. I want the WORLD to be esthar, or Zanarkand at least.
