I'll probably skip the FF16 demo and just wait for the full release, though what I'm hearing so far is making me very excited to play it. Wouldn't be surprise if it ends up as my GotY, but we'll see once the full game is out.

Nah man, play the demo. It's so good. I went from 'I'm excited' to 'I need this in my life now'. I do miss the days of turn-based combat but as time goes on I feel that stuff like Octopath and Bravely Default do it better. WE all know that the only reason turn based was a thing was because they couldn't do action based back then. It has its place but as a callback. 

I love both, and I highly recommend the Demo. Even on Twitter, the cesspit of the internet, I am basically seeing nothing but heaping praise and enthusiasm.

Currently working through a Bloodborne replay.

Not going to get around to the Final Fantasy XVI demo, hopefully will be ready to play day 1 though.

I might if I didn't have several other games I'm playing through already that I want to get done before FFXVI comes out. Xenoblade Chronicles especially is going to take long enough as it is.

It would be cool to have something like team Ryu Ga Gotoku seems to be doing with the Yakuza franchise. Make one series with turn based combat and one with free action.

A turn-based FF series would probably fall to Team Asano, so that would likely mean no more Octopath. Honestly, I'd rather have them keep working at a new franchise.

That already exists (Bravely Default)

No reason why both cant exist considering they've been releasing between the game releases for both series.

Bravely Default (3DS) - 2012
Bravely Second (3DS) - 2015
Bravely Default II (Switch, PC) - 2021

Octopath Traveler (Switch, PC, Xbox) - 2018, 2019 and 2021
Octopath Traveler II (PS4, PS5, Switch and PC) - 2023

I can see Bravely Third (?) being the next title, probably 2025.

Bravely's development is outsourced, though.

Would SE see their flagship in the hand of other developers after having to reboot FF7R and how SoP turned out?

I still cant believe SE gave Team Ninja another chance after the mess with FF Dissidia NT.

It's all outsourced as Asano is not one studio but Aquire and Silicon plus a couple of others and they did LIVE A LIVE, Triangle Strategy as well.
