Am I the only one who was horribly lost when watching the FFXV gameplay demo? I can barely recognize Final Fantasy anymore. I only played a portion of FFXII and the last FF I played significantly was X (which I'm still playing). I have no idea what FFXV was and what I was watching.....

Anyone else in the same boat?

Define "way". Every entry in the Final Fantasy tends to be drastically different than its predecessor.

Turn-based rpg for starters.

Fantasy setting for another (medieval or future).

Each iteration of Final Fantasy has always be about change. The fact that it was turned based so long was more about the genre itself than about the true core of FF. Now more and more RPGs are using active battle systems and FFXV is a culmination of that.

For such a high profile series id rather it be this way than them sticking to a formula that frankly has gotten stale and boring. There are plenty of traditional turn based combat system RPGs out there to play if that is your sticking point.
