Understandable, but then what is it that makes people care about FF XV when it seems so similar to them? It's not even the first Final Fantasy that will be available for new gen consoles...

It's a mainline Final Fantasy game. Not a spinoff. When it was announced as XIII Vs it wasn't so bad since having a spinoff go a different direction is a nice idea, that's the whole point of spinoffs, no? But having a mainline game be so different is just odd.

I'm with you on this, the only reason why people are trying to pass it as a "Classic FF" is because Square decided to give the game its own number, making it a mainline game, no matter how good the game looks this discussion wouldn't even exist if the name still had the "Versus".

I'm stilly shitty they did that. I can't even articulate why I am as it's just a number at the end of the day. I just feel like the numbered games of the franchise are a special thing and that a clear spin off should not be given a number just to prop up it's sales numbers. If you read a rumour before this game was announced saying "Square-Enix rumoured to be working on an Action-RPG set in the world of Final Fantasy XIII." You wouldn't read that thinking it was going to be Final Fantasy 15, and yet it is.
