No two FF games have had the same Battle system...in fact all of them are rather significantly different.

Also its been 9 god damned years that we have KNOWN this was an action +  traditional hybrid battle system type game.  Get over it for christs sake. 

Really? Trying to tell me about Final Fantasy?

Final Fantasy 1-3 had the same turn based system. Final Fantasy 4-6 had the same ATB which is just a glorified timed turn based system. FF7-9 had the same ATB as 4-6. FFX had a static ATB. FF11-12 had the standard MMO Battle system which is just a fancy ATB system(hell, FFXII even had a loading bar). FFXIII and XIII-2 had a standard ATB with stacked commands. FFXIII-3 probably managed to hide its standard ATB the best but it was still no real time action gameplay. FFXIV again standard MMO ATB. Yep, everything up to FFXIV was basically turn based.

Then comes FFXV which is straight up action RPG. Real time action gameplay. So yeah, biggest change ever in any mainline FF.

I agree that it's a big change, but you're painting with too broad of a brush to get your point across. These systems aren't the same. To say FF14 is again standard MMO ATB is just so silly.
