I didn't made up my mind about the Behemoth. I don't understand why with the switch to 3D and more graphical prowess the design of enemies and worlds became more and more boring. Too normal. We have a game here, our fantasy can go wild. Xenoblade and Monster Hunter have proven, that also in 3D with more or less modern graphics you can have inventive and awesome creatures and worlds. No reason everything have to look boring - with many polygons and detailed textures but boring in design. As Nikkom and others pointed out colors were leaving, but that is only one part of a more and more boring design. I also have fears about the gameplay. It is no given with 3D, but the GIF you provided look like the new FF will have real time battles (like some time). While Real time can work with RPGs, turn-based mechanics are mostly superior for RPGs. But most important: Real time RPGs and Turn-based RPGs are different genres. So basically FF as a series is dead and a new series with a different and maybe partly overlapping target group was created that confusingly is also called FF. |
This was announced to be an action RPG in 2006, when it was announced.
