Quality wise, definitely. The old style Final Fantasies had fantastic gameplay to go along with their great stories and interesting characters. Not only does FFXV's gameplay look boring it's also seriously lacking in characters. At least the story seems interesting though. FF7R also looks to have boring gameplay and the story... well we already know that so... meh.

Sales wise... hard to say. FFXV would probably be by far the highest selling JRPG (other than Pokemon) this decade, regardless of whether it used a turn based or action battle system. The brand name is just that strong. And of course we wouldn't know what the difference would actually be unless they released both styles of game which they seem loathe to do.

Edit: Oh and surely I'm not the only one who thought this was another Rise of the Tomb Raider thread right?

100% agree with what is written here. I cannot comment on the story FF7R since I have yet to see story.
