Nope I still love it. I'm always playing at least one turn based classic jrpg, currently playing DQ 5 again.
You can fast forward, why should you have to? I see nothing in this game that prevents it from having a FFX-style system where each turn is immediate. That slow ATB bar (although it's not really active at all) seems utterly pointless.
*raises hand*
So in that sense at least I am looking forward to this more than XV, but in most other ways I anticipate liking XV more.
Imo random encounters are still the best. I'd rather be able to enjoy being surprised with enemies are in an area. That said, a good mix would be even better, with special enemies on screen and standard as random enc.
As long as the encounter rate is fair, it's not an issue.
Also turn based for life. New spins on the system are always welcome. We been over this lots of times but turn based doesn't always = slow.

The art of the floating islands... reminds me a lot of Granblue Fantasy. Big time inspiration there, I feel (in a good way).
I doubt it. If anything, I think FF was the inspiration for the above.
The random battles aren't looked at as a con by people outside of GAF, same with the high hour count. Also, the battles aren't slow because you can manually adjust their speed in the options setting

Looks awesome, however it doesnt look like you can walk around in the world map. Maybe I'm wrong
They are because they are two totally different things plus it's all opinions

The disjointed floating islands aren't really a world map like what the first 9 games had. They're functionally more like just a menu where you select where you wanna go, like in X and X-2, cuz you don't navigate any sort of field or interact with it much.
It's a step in the right direction for sure.

All that floating continents reminds me of this.

Have we been to identify the island/game works? I thought I recognized a beach island that looked like Besaid from FFX.

Yeah, there will be old areas that we can visit. So stuff like Besaid, Balamb Garden, etc. should be expected. I haven't looked through all the trailers for this game, but I might get around to it.

Isn't Granblue from 2014? There is nothing new in the floating islands motif...FF has been doing it for probably 20 years plus. In terms of aesthetics, I don't think FF has traditionally at least been a follower. It has been a trendsetter. I actually think it played a big role in popularising the funky hair trend that took off in Japan (particularlly FFVII). Of course, it has been influenced by many other projects, but in this case I am a bit sceptical.
