Or you're tired of fighting an uphill battle because you know that turn-based means actual turns.

Ultrashroomz said: Pokemon sells like 10M copies for a reason.

Well yeah, because it's Pokemon. They could release "Pokemon Shit and Pokemon Piss" next and literally shit and piss into the jewel cases for at least a million sales, most of which came from pre-orders.

Not that Pokemon is bad. It just simply can't underperform. 

Except you can, because majority rules. 

And no, you've been stating your opinion as fact just as often. Don't act so high and mighty when you're doing the same. 

Except that was a provable fact. Just like it's a provable fact that most enjoy FFXV, and that the haters are just an overly vocal minority. 

Noo.

It's actually pokemon. The only rpg where its non-existent story and empty chars are barely mentioned in reviews. And no, not even FF could get away from those two criticisms.

Tbh, if you actually MENTIONED what ppl are complaining abt ff, youd probably see the same issue handled worse in pokemon. But then again, it's pokemon.

They are as dead as fighting games and shmups.
I have no doubt we will still get a lot of good turn based RPGs.

Which is why I said FF16 and not FF7R. FF15 is out, FF7R is way off, you really think they are only working on one FF game right now and it's a remake of an old game? Yeah, they are working on FF16 and have probably been working on it a while.

This idea that SquEnix have trying to move away from turn based because it was a limit of technology is bullcrap, they could have easily made FF5 or 6 to be just like Zelda on the SNES but didn't because their game style and gameplay was a turn based RPG. They carried on this with PS era and beyond. There are parts of older FF games that an action RPG could never replicate just because of character movement, lost would be grand summons, awesome magic spells and animations all so the character can move freely on the battle field. 

If Game Freak wanted to put in individual animations for all 802 pokemon, they could and would. The certainly are not hard up for money to do such a thing.

Your point about people waiting to take their turn is off too, those people are impatient and in reality, shouldn't be interested in turn based and therefore FF games. They want to not wait, go play one of the many games that allows for this. Like comparing chess to football.

In a sense, sure half your actions are removed from you but you have to wait for a timer to reach it's peak before making a move, same as the FFs before it. It's just those moves are limited in choice, action and control because SquEnix didn't want us to play their game.

Well, they could be working on FF16 and 17 but you know, with release dates on in 2022 and 2028 respectively. Turn based isn't 'dead' because people are losing interest in turn based RPGs, they are losing interest in waiting for the next FF game. 

Eh, they are kind of dead for me. I grew up with them, but nowadays, they are the lazy excuse of gameplay features. Especially those where you don't even see your teammates like Etrian Odyssey or Shin Megami Tensei. Those are the epitome of lazy visuals and fighting modes. I feel asleep during a battle with a monster.
