I'm cautiously optimistic about the future of the game. As someone who enjoys dabbling in many aspects of the game itself I'm not too worried about content being spread out a bit more than before. I'm glad that crafting and gathering is getting more attention and focus, making it a bigger part of the game overall. I'm also glad that we're getting more story heavy content as...ultimately that's the main reason to play a Final Fantasy game in the first place.

I do have some concerns in regards to customisation, though. I'm hoping we'll see the missing genders added at some point as well as an overhaul for the customisation options for the older playable races. We're reaching a point where certain NPC's look a lot more polished and interesting than player characters.
