No, but I believe for games like Final Fantasy it's time to let it continue evolving and to quit complaining about it moving in a better direction. There's still plenty of high profile IPs that use turn by turn, though, such as Bravely and Pokemon.

My personal belief, though, is that turn based is a relic from an age in gaming where real time combat was cumbersome and not worth the effort. Even the best of the best, like Zelda and Mana, still don't feel as fluid as they could be by today's standards. I don't believe it should stop being a thing... But less of it certainly doesn't hurt my feelings.

People aren`t complaining about it moving in a better direction. They`re complaining about it moving in a worse direction. You may disagree, but don`t try and say they`re arguing against things being better when in their view they`re doing the exact opposite.

But what is "worse direction" really? You personal taste?

Cause take FFXII for example, it sold very well, it has 92 metacritic rating, a lot of people are excited about its release on Ps4 this year. So I can't imagine that game being a turn in the wrong direction just because it changed battle system. I can imagine it being in the wrong direction for you, because you dont like that particular style, which is a respectable opinion, like any opinion, but that does not constitute the general opinion or perception of the game.
