XII isn't turn based. Neither is FF XIII really. Command based, not turn based. I don't think the next mainline FF will be an action RPG like XV. This game was always envisioned to be an action RPG even around the time that FF XII came out. |
Exactly, because it was actually a spin-off from the get-go!!
Command-based, how is that different from turn-based? You place commands and your units take turn to play them out. Instead of making your commands during the battle, you make them prior to battle, some during battle. It's still turn-based to a degree. I agree it blurs the lines, but it's tolerable (in terms of identity). FFXV isn't imho and I've given my reasons why but I'll reiterate: the focus on commands and turns is lost, and now a lot of focus is on action, real-time timing, blocking, climbing, etc.
@VXIII -> I finally get your username :) I agree that the trailer video is more final fantasy-like than the gameplay video, but still it's not what I'd expect from a numbered FF, and with historical reason. Thinking of it not as a numbered Final Fantasy, I can admit it looks amazing. I am curious to see if through playing it I will recognize Final Fantasy (Crystal theme, swords, castles, etc.).
