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Final Fantasy moving away from turn-based because it's "outdated" is peak Square silliness.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.

Uh... I hope they've heard of Dragon Quest. They own it.

I'm really worried about the new dragon quest. It's possibly my favorite series and I'm concerned that 12 is going to be action and not turn based.

I haven't seen anything about it. Is there info out that makes you think this?

I believe spinoffs like "Dai" and "Heroes" will be action based, but the main game and "Monsters" will be turn based
