The thing I feel these past few Final Fantasy titles were missing is Nubuo Uematsu. I know it's not going to happen for XV (don't get me wrong... the composer for XV is a pretty good choice), but I really hope Square Enix gets him to compose the music for XVI.

I used to beg my older cousin to let me play Panzer Dragoon but he and his mom were quite the elitists... The sum of my experience on the Sega Saturn must be something like 10 mins of Panzer Dragoon n 20 mins of Virtua Fighter.
