A look at the downfall of turn based battle mechanics in the Final Fantasy series and through out the larger industry. Followed with new hopes in recent releases and upcoming ones like Expedition 33

Only 1 2 3 and 10 were turn based. Even if you consider ATB to be turn based, that was last seen in FF13 which was 15 years ago. This complaint never seems to end.
Also DQ is still turn based and so is SMT
It’s a meme at this point.
“Turn based RPGs are dead!”
points at, well, everywhere
“No, I meant turn based JRPGs”
points at Like a Dragon, Persona, Metaphor
“No, I meant turn based JRPGs developed by Square”
points at Bravely Default, Dragon Quest, countless remasters/remakes
“No, I want AAA mainline Final Fantasy to be turn based!”
🤷♀️
I don’t think these people will ever be happy, even if Sakaguchi came back to Square and brought the whole gang back with him.
We just want a sequel to chrono trigger and chrono cross that is better than both of them combined is that too much to ask
“I just one a sequel to the best game ever that’s better than it and it’s pseudosequel combined”
Me too kid. Me too.
FF 13 was 15 years ago, but it was also only 2 single player titles in the franchise ago if we don’t count remakes. Square Enix is just very slow at making them.
