You're right.  I'am one of the fews that are open to change.  A lot of ff fans won't stop complaining  and will criticize everything until SE gives them the damn FF 7 remake.

I hope you realize this has nothing to do with criticizing or complaining, but to call a spade a spade. It's not you being more open or anything like that, it's about calling the game something it isn't, or dealing with the fact that the game as you knew it is gone, and to make peace with it.

I don't get it, Only the battle system is different. How can the game be gone. Every other element is still in the game.
Even more so than X-2 and beyond.

It's called getting with the times/modernising. No one wants to play FF Excel anymore, so they have changed the gameplay....which is a good thing.

Final Fantasy is done, put a freakin' fork in it.

Just curious, but which "every other element" exactly? Summons? I mean, it's not like the Final Fantasy series has a connected storyline or anything. The only elements I can think which are(were, maybe) in every game from the main series are the turn based combat(FF XII still has turn based combat in the end) and Chocobos/Cid.

As many have already said, not everyone identifies the FF name with a turn based battle system as you do, but with common spells, bosses, summons, enemies, etc.

I see what you mean, I wish 15 was a spin off and they made more of a traditional final fantasy.

Yeah exactly. 

I would definitely agree if I wasn't already aware that FFXV used to be the spinoff vXIII. I don't think they'll really make Final Fantasy an action game series from now on.

Otherwise, you're right; I had no idea what I was watching.
