Yeah... I Agree... There is too much futuristic games out there... FF series started with a medieval atmosphere... then why they just came and changed that =( ?!!!
It's like if Age Of Empires started to be like Star Craft... I mean... both styles (medieval and futuristic) have their good and their bad things, and it's a thing about personal appreciations... but... hey...! Why do they have to change things?... Pears should always be pears! and should never become apples...! xD

I hate changes in videogame sagas... I hated, in example, the change in Metroid saga when they turned a side-scroll platform game into a first-person shooter >=( ... And things like that...

I mean... it's ok to explore another genres and elements in your work, but people who love your work for what it is is the people who will support your work... if you send that people away by removing the reasons why they started to love your work... you are just condemning yourself...

Square should think about this... they are sending away a lot of people who has been loving the elements of their works since so many years... It's not about evolving... it's about removing the loved things!... But it's true... Sakaguchi left... and that one is one of the main reasons of why things are turning out like this... and... in my personal point of view... that is the death sentence for the series too... =(
