I've only played FFXII, which was apparently the first games of the series with drastic changes... but as far as I can tell, you follow a storyline, all the while fighting stuff and leveling up. There are collections and other quests that you can do, and the world is fairly open. There's a lot to explore, and just... a lot to do and learn in general.
When you play, you need to have a strategy for every situation. Enemies aren't random encounters (like finding Pokemon in tall grass), you can see your enemies - and your enemies can see you! You have to understand how to enter and avoid battle while you roam, and if you're in battle, you need to know how to most effectively finish it. Myself? I loot my enemies then kill them as fast as i can. I fight stronger enemies though, which is difficult to keep up with sometimes, but there's a "flee" button so I don't have to worry too much. Unless I'm fighting a boss. You can't run from some of those. >_>; Or Espers (they are difficult boss-like enemies that you can "win" like a pokemon, and use them in future battles by summoning them with magic power).
My favorite part of the game is battling. I could really spend hours fighting stuff and not get anything else done. lol 〗 | ※
