They're going to have to make some fundamental changes for this one, because Civ 6 already felt like the final form of the previous design.

Hard disagree. The district system of Civ 6 was half-baked, and the new one for Civ 7 seems way more interesting with districts growing more organically. Civ 6's world congress was garbage. The eras system needed serious work as dark/golden/heroic eras just didn't feel impactful enough aside from getting a monumentality era early. The new map generation with navigable rivers is a huge plus as well. The climate system in Civ 6 was a dud too, not nearly impactful enough. I think they could've made a Civ 7 which fixed all the broken Civ 6 systems and made a great game.

Speaking for myself, if the only selling point was that they revised systems that I already liked, I'd probably pass on Civ 7. Navigable rivers isn't really enough for me.
