Good, I hope this means we get even more turn-based RPGs again. I'm 100% fine with people enjoying the new action-oriented RPGs like Final Fantasy has become, but I love turn based so much more. I didn't like that it felt like there couldn't be both on the market. There is just something way more enjoyable to me about turn-based as opposed to mashing buttons and twitchy moves like I'm playing God of War.
Final Fantasy moving away from turn-based because it's "outdated" is peak Square silliness. Have they ever heard of chess, card games, board games, DnD, Civilization, Persona, Dragon Quest, XCOM, Pokemon, Darkest Dungeon? If anything, DMC-style character action games are far more niche.
I stopped liking final fantasy once they abandoned it.. Literally last game I played was 12.
