Has Final Fantasy XIII turned to be too "dark" and futuristic ?

[Simulacrum]

Remember when Jprg:s were about adventure with swords and shields?

Now everyone is shooting with machine guns and bazookas.

I don't like it.

While Final Fantasy X was somewhat futuristic, It wasn't dark,it was happy adventure with blitzballs and swords..

This looks too dark for me.

+ our hero is some kind of demonic female Dante with machine guns.

Still nothing can stop me from getting it..
