And the reason this conversation keeps happening is because some people continue trying to push a false narrative despite the evidence saying otherwise. Just like EA with their "people don't like single player games anymore" bullshit. |
Thank you for saying all this, I put this in words before but deleted it as I thought people would just moan at me. The idea of some of the biggest RPG franchises are still turn based and still sell millions is no sign that a game selling literally on name only is a sign of turn based no longer being popular.
Was turn based outside of FF, Pokemon and DQ really that popular even in the 90s/early 2000s? No, outside these 3 games series, turn based games didn't exists and if they did were low selling. Only difference between then and now is that SquEnix are not making turn based Final Fantasy games anymore.
How can we know if turn based FF games are no longer popular if they don't make them to find out?
Hmm, pie.
