To put it simply:
Am I the only one who's extremely sad to see the Final Fantasy franchise "turn" completely away from turn based combat so "its more accessible for larger and more modern audience"? I get the feeling I am.
The DMC style combat is a complete "turn" off for me. The new art style/direction for FF16 looks really cool and Id love to play it but the combat pretty much 100% guarantees I'll never touch it. I tried to play the FF7 remake even though the original is one of my favorite games of all time and the new remake looks awesome in every way (besides some questionable story changes) the combat is a complete no-go for me and ruined it. Same with FF15.
So do you guys think the age of AAA turn based RPG's are over? I mean there are some turn based games out there but none are top quality AAA games, I guess Persona 5 is close to that level but it didn't strike a chord with me. It seems like people attention spans and ADD make it where that traditional style of game is too slow and antiquated "for modern gamers".
Maybe I'm just getting old (35) and like my games the way they were when I was a young lad lol.
