Honestly, this must be a unpopular opinion, but... I like both action RPGs and traditional RPGs. However, I don't play Final Fantasy for the gameplay. I play IT for the story, the characters, the amazing cutscenes, the epic soundtrack and visuals,,, I don't really mind if they are going for a "hack'n slash" style, in fact, I don't even dislike that. As long as the game has a plot worthy of the Final Fantasy franchise, I'll dig in.
