Square Enix is gunning for casual gamers, plain and simple. VII Remake is the game for old nostalgic gamers. They're being very smart businesswise. And they kind of have to beJapan is cutthroat these days.
Yeah, I said most of this. The thing is, it's twisting Final Fantasy into something nearly unrecognizable to me as a core fan and while we're still getting large entries (however slowly they may come) I will continue to loathe this direction. It's vaguely unsettling that they're testing the waters for a mainline entry on mobile, considering how much money some of their existing mobile projects bring in for the company.
I also can't really see the appeal in this project. XV's beauty, sense of scale and combat system (if you're into it like I wasn't) are the main redeeming factors in a disjointed and unfinished feeling main game. This seems to remove pretty much all of that, while keeping one of XV's weakest aspects seemingly completely untouched. I can't imagine the appeal.
