In terms of art style, lore, and story, it definitely defines Final Fantasy in a way most of the post FFX games haven't for me. The amount of times I've literally squeed at stuff, especially Heavensward onward, has truly been impressive.
Aint conntroversial in the slighest. Soken's music is fantastic. I don't know how he pushes out so many good songs patch after patch.
I dunno if I'd agree with this. There's an MMO there, and it definitely takes clear inspiration from some of the genre's best (by Yoshida's own admittance, no less), so I can understand that turning some people off.
But yeah, it definitely has the soul of Final Fantasy in it.
Also, this might be controversial, but I think a lot of Soken's work on the soundtack is up there with Uematsu's best stuff. The man is consistently brilliant.

People who say it's just an MMO with an FF skin haven't actually played it. I'm a SUPER casual MMO player. I basically only play it for the story and occasional Raids or Primal Fights. This game has the SOUL of FF in it, there's absolutely no denying it. A Soul which this last generation of mainline FF games isn't even close to having. And it's not just the fanservice (a super nice bonus though)
