I've got FF7 thanks, played it a lot (I've long since lost my perfect save |
) You know, the gameplay from FF2 onwards (even 1 would be fine), a strategic turn based combat. KH doesn't have that, it's mostly mash buttons until win (I love the series but in it's own right). Nomura compared it to KH combat, which isn't even like FF gameplay. Most FFs have a similar style with variations of how the magic system works, the main gameplay is still strategic turn based (with a timer), even if it's more fast paced like FF13 or you wander around the combat areas like FF12. Maybe in the end it will be more FF7 than I think but from this interview, I don't have much faith.It makes sense for him to compare it to KH when comparing it to FFXIII would bring unwanted backlash and he probably doesn't want to compare it to FFXV given his history with the game.
ATB in 2016 is slow and frustrating, even FFX-2's system is feels terrible compared with more modern RPGs. Turn based RPGs sell terribly if they are not branded Pokemon, and the FF franchise gameplay always evolved towards more action. The budget to make FFVII look like on par with current games is also too high for it to keep a gameplay that's now niche, while most players that stopped evolving with the industry probably wouldn't buy a console for the remake of a game they played as a child.
