 This battle system was consistent for all main (numbered) Final Fantasy games up until Final Fantasy XI, and it's been non-existent ever since.

Not really. Square always tried to stray from the formula with every single game. It may appear as consistent to us, now but in the 90s they were just confined by technology. As soon as they had more power they tried more things, simple as that.

If turn based rpgs are your thing then -from my perspective- you were never primarily a Final Fantasy fan.

Lost Odyssey felt more like Final Fantasy to me compared to everything after Final Fantasy X. I loved that game, and I feel like it is underappreciated.

 

I'd say it's not  underappreciated because most people don't expct the same things from a FF as you. It was just a dated 90s homage at best. Lots of folks want to discover something fresh with every new FF game, both on the story and gameplay front.

 

 


On the first point: Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2 were released in the 2,000's, not in the 90's. These still kept the turn-based, random battle, full party control that the other Final Fantasy games incorporated. Final Fantasy X is the second highest selling Final Fantasy game, and that's just taking into consideration the PS2 release, not the HD remake.

On the second point: That is your opinion, and you are entitled to it.
