Am so disappointed.

Final Fantasy XV sounds brillaint. The scale and freedom of FFXII but with a better battle system which doesn't allow the game to play itself.

I simply don't believe the series need another FFXII right now. FFXIII/FFXIII-2 and FFXIV left many fans disappointed and I think the way to satisfy them back is to make a game similar to what made them fall in love with the franchise to begin with: turn-based gameplay!

Alternatively they could just make a brilliant game, something which neither XIII/XIII-2 were. The fact is the franchise will not survive by simply trying to conpensate disenfranchised fans, a decade has passed since X, an entire new generations gamers now dominate the market. I'm not saying it shoudn't be turn based but what ever the combat system ends up being, it should be born of the desire to provide the compelling experience as opposed to a desire to provide nostalgia. 

But every SE attempt at making a 'compelling experience' (that means pretty much every FF since FFX) has not done anything good for the franchise. It never worked. I don't trust SE enough to believe that another attempt will be successful.
