I sort of agree with the point about it kind of straying from the Final Fantasy series in the overall game, but I don't really mind, and I don't see why it's unnecessary. I mean, the technology that is around now is far superior to the technology that was around when Final Fantasy first existed. So why throw that aside instead of applying it into the latest of the series to produce a spectacular and memorable game? Some of the new features are absolutely amazing, and I think it's a waste to just dump all that and go with the basics. If that's the case, you're not going to get anything that new, just something that's the same with different characters, a different plot, different options, but the same features.

And I don't see how the characters are the same, exactly. =3 Although, I know they had to use Vaan, Ashe, or some other character's designs to make random people in the game.

And in my opinion, I don't think I'd want to control all three characters in this game. It's just...too fast. >.> I mean, one character I can handle, but non-stop commands between three different characters would have be confused with who I'm even controlling, or what I'm commanding them to do. But to me, I really like this new battle system. It's challenging, sort of new, and extremely fun.

Also, I don't know if it's just me, but I thought the story was amazing. As you get farther in the game, it progressively got more intense, captivating, et cetera. Though, I haven't seen the ending yet, since I haven't beaten the game yet, but so far, it's not letting me down.
