Honestly I was. Because few years back now yoshi made a comment that the future of the franchise needs to basically stuff mainstream audiences and go back to its fans and it's roots. So that gave me hope.
Some of the stuff I've seen though gives the impression they've totally ignored that and basically made another ffxv.
But I haven't actively been following it so all I see is random stuff that comes up in my Google feed from time to time..
Recent entries in the franchise have kinda dampened the enthusiasm. Hence the hope when yoshi said about taking it back to its roots and fans. Even the 7 remake while good I found the combat toooo I dunno limited I guess in terms of control. That stupid gimmick that means the boss targets whoever the active player is regardless. Makes strategy a ball ache when you wanna get behind a boss or something. Takes control away from the ayer which imo is bad
Time will tell I guess..
