What is so good about Turn-based battle system? (FF XV)

I think the biggest concern I have for FFXV is that a majority of the game will be linear and scripted. Here's hoping for some open world stuff where i'm not confined to a city path and what not to use the action battle system.

World map and huge areas are already confirmed in FF XV by Nomura.

Cringe.. I hate the idea of open world personally.. especially since most of the "open world" is an empty shell. Sure I wouldnt want straight corridors either but a good balance would be the best as not to hurt the narrative's pacing.

In regards to the combat, I am pumped at the idea of it being an action rpg. Turn based is fine but action rpg is much more fun. Imagine the old final fantasies with an action  battle system. If they were made that way back in the day and they decided to make XV turn based, perhaps you guys wouldnt think the same way.

Is it really the turn based battle system that you love or is it the story/characters/setting/music of the games that coincidentally had the turn based battle system? I might be wrong, it's just a theory.
