I didn't mean in regard to gameplay with that comment. With that said my interest in my battles always came from class and character building and not from the actual fights themselves, trying different spell+stat combinations and stuff has always been fun, but all of that has gotten significantly worse since FF12 anyways so no big loss there.
I suppose I'll see how I feel about this game once more footage drops, preferably from an area that's NOT cast in darkness. The other thing that always pulled me into FF was the amazing and unique art direction, and so far this FF caters really hard to a boring, medieval look. I'm just hoping the towns look great at least.
