I can understand why people would write this off as kind of bland, but damn, my inner fangirl is screaming hard right now. The summons looks sick, there's theories about a job system and the music is dooope.
Excited for sure.
AND it's a return to high fantasy fro the mainline series. Can't wait to see if they do more with the setting.
Only thing I didn't like was that it looked a bit similar to XIV - We've gone a decade since Final Fantasy felt 'new' (with XV being a rebranding of a spinoff) and I kinda wish it looked more distinct. The plus side of this is that it's because it's the Heavensward team that's working on this, with Yoshida in the director's chair, no more Nomura/Kitase shenanigans.
