@stokedup, i played the ff15 demo and for me the world was pretty empty which is expected since its a demo, but still. The battle system was way too much action/rpg vibe for my tastes. There was no-lock for you to use on your enemies, the camera had some issues keeping us with the action. The game didnt feel like a ff game, but more in common with star ocean instead, since the vibe is closer to that series. The only part i liked from the demo was the summon, now that was epic and is the only glimmer of hope i have in the game, i just might miss playing a ff game for the first time since ff12 came out, i hated that game with a passion.
Its just sad to see how final fantasy games have fallen to such a disgrace anymore, 2 of my top 3 all-time rpg's are from that series, being ff8 and ff10. I hope that at some point soon, the series can return to form but i dont think that is possible anymore , with the ppl in charge of the series or the company.

Yeah, I got the demo without getting type-0. I just wanted to see if it was going to be this "game changer" everyone said it was going to be. After playing the demo I think I'll just wait until my brother beats it and borrow his copy (if I ever get around to it). 

I also wouldn't place FF anywhere in my top 5. They have made some AMAZING games, but do not beat the likes of Suikoden 2 and 3, Xenoblade, Xenogears, and Lunar The Silver Star. Heck, I'd put Tactics and Echoes Of Time above a lot of the main numbered series.
