I don't really like the setting, honestly. Too convoluted. I don't see a clear objective...

Hey, at least it doesn't look like a Bro Road Trip flick

Systems are different agreed but not the battle system itself, to me, losing the base gameplay means it's not really FF for me other than in name. Just like a Souls game wouldn't be that for many people if it became a turn based RPG. The new stories, magic system, weapon system etc, is what changes each time. A new spin on their standards but it still had the same combat. The last few games have tried to remove that combat and strangely enough my appeal has also gone down. Not saying they aren't great games or I don't like Action RPGs but I'm just not looking for an action RPG in FF. Of course, 6 years between each iteration also isn't the best. |
I do have to admit that I don't like the new FFs compared to the old as well. But I still appreciate the attempt nonetheless. As a fan of companies trying out new ip, I also have to give credit to the big franchises attempts.
Not a fan of the medieval setting, but I'm definitely excited about this one. Can't say much about gameplay yet, aside from it looking like some pretty generic and mediocre action RPG stuff, but that's not what I play Final Fantasy for (although Final Fantasy X was the pinnacle for the series, as far as I can tell based on my experience). What's special here is the strong fantasy vibe I'm getting, and despite my dislike for the medieval settings, the trailers hint at the world and lore being carefully crafted as well. Maybe it's just great trailers in this regard and the game's actually going to be trash, but my impression right now is that this is a game to be hyped for - and I rarely get hyped for games anymore.

Its been a while since FF games have had a sense of urgency and this looks like its going to have a really compact, well written, gripping story. I didn't love the setting until we started to get a sense of how it plays into the plot, and it feels like this is going to be a massive medevil war fantasy. Game of Thrones on Japanese steroids. Here for it |
I’m no fan of Game of Thrones, irregardless if you want “Game of thrones on Japanese steroids” try Berserk. Berserk to me is the best dark fantasy, at least as far as mainstream.

You're definitely not alone. Just looks like a generic action game to me. Not at all what I'd want from a Final Fantasy game.

This is a big factor! IIRC we had 1 FF game per year from 8-10 (at least in Europe). If we were still getting 1 a year, or every other year at least, then I wouldn't mind one that I'm not interested in as much. Just wait a year and hope the next one's better. But when it's only 1 per generation it's a lot more annoying!
my most anticipated! graphics could be better but looks perfect overall!
don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^
Looks like the lore and characters have been carefully designed, makes me so happy after the XV catastrophe ?

The bro road trip aspect is easily the best part of ff15. It's also easily one of the best relations dynamics in FF as a whole, maybe even the best.
