Is Final Fantasy XV a step in the right direction??

That's one one thing that's really bothering me,  aside from being stalked by enemy ships every 200 steps the world lacks the real feeling that a war has even happened.  You have towns with buzzing happy music while apparently this big war just happened.  Even noct and co don't seem to care to much,  being more than happy to help everyone out while his dad only just died 5 minutes earlier. 

But isnt that sort of normal for the franchise? 

I remember being completely thrown out of FFX's story many times because there was a giant killing god destroying everything around and everyone was like "we need to distract ourselves with Blitzball to not think about that Giant thing killing us all. And then the Al Bhed were kidnapping the only people who could stop him, even for a certain period of time. They really didnt think that one through. 

 

 

FFX's idea of people doing that makes sense. I have friends in countries like Venezuela where theres shit going down everywhere but the people dont talk about it. Why? It's depressing and they dont want to be reminded by their depressing situation so they distract themselves with stuff like sports and tv.
