    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.
