Most FF games are turn based combat, which isn't bad but for this type of game I think hack and slash is so much better, which is one of the reasons I cannot wait for FFXV

The environmental art design of the new game looks really dull so far, as if square are purposely being more conservative, staying clear of anything that looks too fantastical, maybe to appeal to a more mass market western audience - which is a great shame

Played both demos love the series but it's go a lot to make up for that FFXIII fiasco here's hoping it takes my breath away like FFVII

Download the demo. Most of it is just walking around for no reason but at the end of it you get a proper fight you can do endlessly so you'd be able to see how the combat works

Speaking as a long time fan, in recent years I've found myself feeling alienated from the franchise I grew up loving. Sequels, fashion contracts, protagonists I can't relate to, the inclusion of j-pop...I'm not sure Square knows what demographic their older fans are. Since seeing the new trailer; and reading the game informer article where Tabata mentions Fallout, the Witcher, and Elder Scrolls as influence, I feel better about the direction of the game and franchise. Anyway, the game looks great; and I would recommend it as you may not have any expectations of what it [i]should[/i] be. You can enjoy it for what it is.
