When the game was released, it sparked mixed reactions among fans, with some claiming, "This isn't my Final Fantasy anymore!" The main point of contention lies in the game's departure from its turn-based roots and adoption of character action combat akin to Devil May Cry or Bayonetta.

Ultimately, we discuss whether the sentiment of "It's not my Final Fantasy anymore" is justified or if it's simply a matter of personal preference.
