Random encounters =/= turn based. Anyway an action game is not a substitute for a strategy game. I don't often hear people say chess is so archaic we should play football instead, for example. 

Appealing to people who aren't fans of a certain playstyle has the issue of possibly alienating those who enjoyed said playstyle. Both turnbased and real time RPGs have their niches to target even today .


As long as the game stays true to the originals' mechanics while changing the base gameplay, I think it can be suitable replacement, it's better to have it this way than the other way around in my opinion. Football and Chess are completely different games, TBRPGs and ARPGs are both subgenres of an RPG, so mechanics between those are interchangeable.

When it comes to alienating people who loved the original, I can relate to that, but we need to understand that from a bussiness perspective, that could or couldn't be the best road to take while making the game, even if the game had a massive userbase back in the day, nothing guarantees that those guys will buy it again, there's also the problem of the game actually not being as good as everybody remember it being, which would affect review scores and hurt Square's reputation. I think Square is being intelligent here, they're trying to rebuild a new solid fanbase of new players and old players open to change who will likely check more of their new stuff out, they're better off that way, they know they're not SquareSoft, so they might as well embrace what they truly are instead of trying to keep up a facade.



I'm now filled with determination.

Statistics please ? 

FFVII and FFVIII were the high point of the series and FFXIII sold a minimum of 7 million at an upwards of over 8 million copies. Those are respectable numbers for a series whether you like it or not ... 

As for spin-offs such as FFXIII-2 or 3 then you may as well argue that FF went down the shitter with FFX-2 ...

Maybe we have someone working for Square in here, felt offended and reported.

http://www.vgchartz.com/gamedb/?name=final+fantasy&publisher=&platform=&genre=&minSales=0&results=200  then think that this doesn't show all the FF7 pc sales and add together all the various copies it's plain to see the new games just don't sell as well they lost us the majority buyers

I have a feeling it will be close to FFXV combat.

The new games don't sell as well because their SPIN-OFFs ...

That's like saying SE lost a majority of it's customers because of FF Tactics ... 

Why can't we use FF VI, FF VIII, FF IX, FFX, or even FFXII to guage the success of FFXIII ? FFVII set a high bar that no other FF will match in a long time ... 

FFXIII is the fourth highest selling mainline FF title and that is a pretty good achievement all things considered ... 

If you were expecting EVERY new FF game to be definitively better than the last then you have no one but yourself to blame ...
