...had yet to happen. There has been some really cool trailers on it, but so far I have more issues with it than positives that catch my interest. That and SE's activity since FF13 has really made me become cautious of the company.

I'm sure the game will still deliver though.

The moment they called the game Final Fantasy sold it to me. Too bad they didn't do anything with the game to sell it even more.

I don't want to be a Debbie downer but there have been dozens of moments that turned me OFF to the game :(

But I hope I'm wrong and the game turns out to be amazing!

I've nevee been one to question why anyone likes or doesmt like a game (since i feel its subjective) but I've always been puzzled by the people that say things to suggest that FF15 will be bad. 

We don't know about the story which is usually the most important facets of any FF game.

All the exposure anyone has got from it thus far are from demos and how much each demo changed from the last drives the point home that the game is still in development. 

There are a great number of series firsts in the game which should at the very least make any FF fan interested in it. From how the weapons work, the summons (I mean come on, now these summons looks and feel like godlike all powerful creatures), a car, day and night cycle, how levelling up works....

the gameplay looks to be on point and seems to have a lot of depth down to making a small mini game from something as simple as spells.

This is the first (well second cause 12 also was kinda) true open world FF game. 

TThere is just a depth of new takes on the RPG formula that could like FF did before, change how RPGs are designed going forward. 

I simply can't understand how any FF fan can't be excited for this game. It's bold and it's different as every good FF game should be. Now if we are talking about people that habent really ever played a FF game, or those super nostalgic types that don't really hate the game for what it is but ratehr for what it isn't (our turn based dolks: though in truth this game even has a mode for them) that I could kinda understand. 

A good story can't save a bad game.

The only thing that looks interesting about FFXV to me is the graphics. It looks beautiful.

The combat system seems dull and unengaging, the character design unattractive, the entire production appearing to prioritize spectacle and visual fidelity over gameplay. I can't reward a game just for being different or for belonging to a legendary brand. That's not how it works.

I'm not blinded by nostalgia or intent on degrading a popular series, as some conspiracy theories would suggest. I just don't like what I see.
