TV and M&K/Controllers is an outdated technology. AAA games should all be built in a AAA environment. VR and Motion Tracking is what defines AAA experiences now. There will still be great games for retro style TV + M&K/Controllers, but they should be coming from indies and AA teams. It will be really disappointing if Squares biggest team is still building games games based on nearly 30 old limitations by the time the next Final Fantasy arrives.

That said, I will play it either way. I would just prefer to have full controll of my body and senses with a next gen Final Fantasy, as opposed to crippling limitations of 30 year old tech.

What the heck are you on about?

VR and traditional gaming offer two completely different experiences. Games like FF have you in control of a party, which is far from ideal in VR. Seriously, how you came up with that comment and thought it was in any way insightful one or reflected the reality of modern age gaming is beyond reason.

What you just said is like saying you won't play chess, because you prefer to ride a real horse and go to an actual 1500 war yourself.

Not even close, and I actually said I will play it regaurdless. I just don't expect a frachise know for pushing tech to suddenly stop taking advantage of the latest tech available, and I would honestly be dissappointed with Square Enix if they did. 

Also VR and Motion conrtols add massively to all current genres, and create the possability for genres that don't even exsist yet. Stuff like Stratagy Games, 3rd person Adventures, Platformers, Puzzlers, all benefit greatly from both the expanded FOV/Camera control, and expanded inputs that motion, gestures, plus traditional buttons offers. 

AAA franchises like Final Fantasy, Mario, Metal Gear, Grand Theft Auto, and many more have went through major changes to adapt to advanced technologies through the decades. These are the titles that typically set the example for next gen gaming technologies. Chess is Chess, Metal Gear is vastly different in 2017 than it was in 1987, 1997 GTA isn't even a shadow of 2017 GTA. 

Final Fantasy blew people away with 3D on PS1. Grand Theft Auto and Final Fantasy 10 set the example for the 3D games we currently have today. Final Fantasy 16 should be a benchmark title that shows the indursty and the world what VR can be.
