FFXV would've made a great 15-20 hour action adventure game. Remove the open world, keep the action system, and create a more expanded linear structure like the second half on maximum steroids. They could've included more scenario that way too, along with keeping the invasion in the game. You can already somewhat play it like that, but the structure is obviously there to make you play in the open world more which creates a disconnect.
I'm hoping Tabata goes that route with his next game, but all indications are he's going deep, deep, deep into open world's ass.
