"Final Fantasy looks like Call of Duty"

So after this trailer, people have been calling FFXV, Call of Fantasy, Unreal tournament, MGS clone, etc.
I think they're partially right though.
If no one told you what the FF series was, would you say this is more an action game / shooter or RPG.

I don't see the connection.

I was hoping the Ff7 remake was going to reinvigorate the franchise, then I saw they were splitting the game up into episodes.
Anyway, thanks for the clip, I had forgotten about FFXV, definitely back on the radar after that!
I would have to disagree that turn based battle system is holding the series back. FF was at its peak with the ATB. Since going towards full action-based the series has lost something in translation.

after ff7 they are just pushing for graphics and not caring much for gameplays. ff8 was playable, too much over powered chars, but it was okish, ff9 was a huge meh, ff10 the mian char is annoying but nothing over the board, and was ok and pretty nice sometimes, had one of the best minigames in any ff till today blitzball, (I will forget the ffx-2.... and still don't know WHY they cahnged the blitzball minigame on this one u.u), ff11 well online it did deliver, had all the ff trade marks, ff12 was a..... it didn't know if it was a offline or online game, crap story too, okish system, but it make the game too grindish and forced you to look at wikis or faqs to check other people results so you didnt miss a weapon who could help (summon was fucked up...), ff13 that damn game was even a automatic combat if you didn't want to do the damn combat, was better to try to sell it like a OVA ff then a game (we do know how that did end last time), also hope could they do a more annoying kid then that? lightning was the better character mostly because she stayed quiet most of the game (I will not even mention the others games because, serious for what reason they even tried to push the same weak characters around?).
now on ff15 we have more action and a bigger world (looks like it), the main char looks kinda over powered for any game, but the combat at least is combat you do something not just keep watching the thing happen
My concern this particular time around is that I've already played the Arkham series games (or CoD if that's your comparison). If I had to guess, I'd say the game will pay a price for being late, as in if it had come out four years ago the ideas would have seemed considerably fresher. If that turns out to be true, the game will probably have to rely more on its story. Unlike a lot of fans, I don't think storytelling has usually been FF's strong suit; certainly not compared to Western RPGs.

For one thing you don't have 3 goofy stumbling awkward characters to control in those other games.ALso those other games you are predominantly surrounded by walls /structures most or the time,FFXV looks more out in the open world.
Combat i don't like,it looks bad to me,especially when the weapon disappears,like where does it go lmao.Way i figure is they had some issues with animations and graphics/lag and instead of figuring it out they just cut some corners and had the weapon disappear,in between attacks.
The setting also seems awkward in FFXV it's like some city slickers chasing after creatures,it doesn't look right.In the COD series things look pretty much right,you got your military stuff and your weapons and the whole immersion thing is spot on.
FFXV looks amazing graphically,but not much else after that.
