Okay..so this is something fresh, I believe. The artwork is great and the side-scrolling stuff reminds me of Valkyrie Profile..

So Castlevania in modern days..interesting.

Square wanted something different in almost each FF series..they tried to develop and make something new to the FF fans which, of course, there's always a pro and contra about it. For me, I'll just enjoy the game 'cuz you'll have to admit that FF is a good franchise.
