I was on fb, and someone had a "then and now" of FF characters -- "Now" had Vaan from FF12, which came out in 2006??

Someone told me a game I'm looking forward to changed the gameplay to match "the current thing", but the gameplay is close to the Arkham series, which came out in 2008???

What year am I in???
(Can it be 2018? There's people I want to talk to.)

Same goals as always, just with my own flairs. I'm still working on it.
