Sounds to me more like a select few people wanting it to fail, rather than it actually being even close to failing. Personally, I'm hyped for Dawntrail. If it's more of the same, then it's more of the same handcrafted world, compelling stories and engaging fights. What's not to like about that? Sure, it's going to follow a familiar formula. It's Final Fantasy. It's been following a similar formula for 26 years, and we still love it. There is literally no way to please every single person who plays the game, that much is true. But let's not pretend that it's failing just because a vocal minority are getting itchy over familiarity.
