Have you played the Diablo 4 beta? ...

It's not like Diablo 1-3.

It's fully online, open world, players roaming in the overworld everywhere, with live events spawning 24/7 around the world. Dungeons are instanced for 1-4 players though.
Questing is fully voiced and non-linear progression. The world feels like a non-linear CRPG with ARPG and MMO elements.

This was the beta map, only 1/5 of the zones. You go to the main city then branch out anywhere, do anything, any quest in any order, with other players running around with you. You can also sync all of your quests, and even the main story. Your level syncs with the world, so running around with low level friends is always viable. They can't cheese and run to super high zones, but each zone has pockets of high level content to keep you going back.

So what? It's still Diablo and at its core it is a far different game from Final Fantasy. Besides, people always run off to a new game when it launches and come back here when the honeymoon is over.
