not surprised. Everything after IX was way too ambitious and they tried to change too much.
I mean I can understand changing the battle system a little, and maybe a new ability system, but for the most part all of the FFs from 4 to 9 have the exact same gameplay, with little changes here and there to make each game unique, like VII's materia and VIII's junctioning (can't speak for 5, never played it, but the rest). All of them work perfectly though. The second they started changing things with X, the series began declining.
This one looks no different. I dunno, I think going back to basics is what would save the series.
Oh yeah, and the characters in this one look so generic, none of them look even the least bit memorable.
