I really think Final Fantasy is a bit overrated. All of the main games I've played had great things about them, and then something absolutely terrible. And it's been that way as long as I've been playing them, which is all the way back with VII.
As a whole, compared to the other RPG series out there, they're actually pretty good. They certainly offer a lot of variety for being under one brand name. It's just that comes with being hit or miss, not bastions of awesome.
The problem since X has basically been that Square Enix doesn't know how to handle action in an RPG yet. XIII was an expensive learning process. Reading between the lines on XV's trailer, I think they're ditching Final Fantasy's "flash, then encounter" mechanic. The enemies are just too big and cause too much havoc for a separate battlefield to work. It would certainly wreck my immersion for all this chaos to happen, and then when you return to the world map everything's clean again. I bet when an encounter begins, a brief cutscene plays to set the stage. Especially if it's plot important.
At least I hope that's what they're doing. I bet there will be a mistake in the mix somewhere, but I'm willing to give it a chance.
