"It's not FF and it doesn't have AAA graphics"
Yes, that's the point. When people say they want Final Fantasy to be Turn-Based, they mean Final Fantasy.
Not Octopath, not Bravely Default, not Dragon Quest
When they say they want AAA graphics, they want AAA graphics.
Not Pixel, not Anime-cell shaded, not Low-Poly 3D
If those games hit like Final Fantasy, no-one would say FF should go back to Turn-Based
Why? Because those games would have filled the void that Turn-Based FF left behind. They didn't
If they did, this conversation would not exist
People should just simply say they want Final Fantasy to be turned based. No need to spread misinformation by acting like Square abandon turned based completely. They literally just released one last week but people don't care cause its not FF and it doesn't have AAA graphics.
