this game just continues to look worse, I don't think final fantasy at all when I watch this, other than the occasional clip of chocbos...

What game do you associate the "look" of with final fantasy? Because if you're talking about the setting 6 was a bit of a departure from all the previous ones, 7-8 was a drastically different looking setting, as was 10. 12 was In Ivalice and 13 was a pretty big departure as well.

If you're talking about mechanics 12 was a different playing game entirely. X even did away with an overworld map. X-2 was pretty different. 13 had the paradigm battle system. So, I'm just curious what games you associate with the "look" of Final Fantasy.

Personally, I've always felt each Final Fantasy took place in its own separate universe. I prefer the turn-based battles but I've become accustomed to all the unique mechanics each one tries to introduce. However, there's enough themes or elements in every Final Fnatasy that I can make connections to the series with (summons, chocobos, reoccurring enemies, etc.) and this one definitely has those.

Each ff game is unique, but most have been able to carry over this intangible feel. This one just feels totally different. the bunch of samey guys road tripping in a car.... I know 7 had a bike but this Is integral to the whole game. It's fine if others like it. but to me I think this will be the first mainline ff game that I don't buy.

@Gr8b8m8 I can understand what you are saying, ffxiii summons were a little jarring being vehicles. imo ffxiii didn't utilize summons right to begin with, I barely needed to use them. FXIII wasn't perfect to me but still enjoyable due to the visually and personality diverse cast of party members. But I can respect what you are saying about each though, be interesting to see how the game turns out.

For a game that has been in development for this long, the idea of DLC is just cheeky.

Who really cares in this case. It's just bunch of skins and cosmetics. Story content would be totally different matter.
