Thematic issues. Why all the sci fi.

Because sci-fi is cool

Yeah, this sums it up. But just adding "cool" stuff to games without thought to what it does to the larger picture is not a good idea. If you actually zoom out and consider the implications of what gets introduced into the game you realize it doesn't make sense at all anymore. And it is a shame.

For the person that mentioned the allagans, at least the theming for the allagan's was ancient magical technology. We are down to generic space suits and starbucks coffee cups at this point. There is a reason most games DON'T do this. And its because its not good game design, it takes you out of it and doesn't make you take the game seriously. Even some other FFs manage to blend things better. Cloud's sword and outfit in FF7 looked modern. In this game we are getting gear that is easily 1000s of years apart thematically all the time.
