Very much different. It's in the tactical RPG genre, so the game plays out on a chessboard, like Fire Emblem or Shining Force. Except this is isometric, and it also has height levels, so positioning is pretty important.

If you flank an enemy you'll have a higher chance to hit because you ignore the evasion on his shield.

It has the mainstay themes of FF in general with chocobos, crystals, summons, and the job system (from FF3/5). However due to the director Yasumi Matsuno being a westaboo who went to university for international politics, the story is completely different in tone from the other Final Fantasies. It's more about medieval power politics, nobility vs. peasant caste system, feudalism, and so on since it's modeled very heavily on the Wars of the Roses (just like Game of Thrones)
