Ironically, I think the setting is one of the best parts. Maybe a bit too close to The Witcher / Game of Thrones which throws me off, but not too bad. It also reminds me a bit of FF IV in some way, especially in terms of some plot devices (from what it seems).
My big complaint would be, as always, no turn based system; except this time it's even worse as there is not even a full party of characters (or does not seem like it, who knows).
In my opinion, at its best, FF XVI could feel like some sort of throwback to FF IV. At its worst, it could feel like a bad Witcher ripoff, with some Final Fantasy stuff. I guess we'll have to wait and see, but the no turn based system is always a huge negative for me, even if I've almost given up on it.
