I actually completely disagree with this.
I understand the sentiment, but I think the jrpg genre needs to push past it’s 30+ year old roots. There are tons of games from indies to square that are still designed as turned based, but the new FF games are working towards something else. You can turn on a setting to make it more turn like, but I don’t.
Have you played Expedition 33? Would love to see more like that. Not necessarily the dark souls-esque dodge timing, but that willingness to tweak the genre
You seem to think that action is somehow an upgrade or evolution to turn based. That’s like saying that Hungry Hungry Hippo is an evolution of Monopoly.
Action and turn based are different gameplay genres. Changing the genre makes the game for a different audience.
