No point either way, XV Is a major departure from the regular FF game, no one is familiar with it. Also, the developing team is different from any previous main FF. So the usual "I lost faith in SE/FF" or "judging from previous entries" doesn't apply here.

Turn-based is not bad, I was merely stating my observation on the market trend. Although I do believe that the myth that turn-based system is more strategic should put to rest. The Souls series beats any RPG I have played in the strategic depth. But yes, I kinda forgot about Pokemon and Dragon Quest. Persona on the other hand is not a big seller by any stretch.


If you consider Kingdom Hearts (FF x Disney) as part of the FF series in a way, it isnt a huge departure. The gameplay looks very similar, so its not like FFXV is something they just brought out of nowhere. Realistic KH is an easy way to describe it.

It is somewhere in-between with it own unique elements like the gambit system and the big variety of weapons (different not only in appearance, but also in attacks and special abilities). Being a part of two different systems is not exactly simple or easy to judge and understand. Fortunately, the demo is coming in a few months, we should have a clear idea how it works.

Until then, we can only make guesses based on footage and confirmed elements.
