If all you play that’s turn-based is lobotomized slop like Pokèmon, no wonder you think it’s boring. Try things made for people above the age of 5.
Bruh you're really pressed about it calm down take a breath & realise that turn based games started out because of the technology not being advanced enough to have proper combat 🤣

Only turn based with good actual strategy are the FF tactics games and Tactics Ogre, I actually enjoy that kind of turn based since a lot more engaging then selecting attack/cure every random battle.

Fire Emblem is also good, but only the older games. The new ones are way too casualised.

I'd say judging by the horrible legs of this game, the audience doesn't agree. It's kinda sad how FF15 looks better and plays more like a classic FF than a next gen exclusive.

Where it’s at.
Yeah that's konami they had like 1 arcade game 🤣 sega is the king of arcade & I hope they continue making great arcade games
Wow.

Just…wow.

You really don’t know shit about anything, do you?

If you seriously think turn-based gameplay is due to technical limitations, that’s even more uninformed than your stellar take on Konami’s arcade history.

I’m not even mad, I’m impressed at the courage to actually make such inane statements publicly.

Stop....ff15 was awful and ruined the final fantasy IP as a whole. It's much less of an ff game than 16, you must've not played either.

For me, the fall began with FF 12, I was so excited about it and then... massive disappointment. Empty, linear cities, combat was meh and the game required a lot of grinding, summons were hard to defeat and underpowered once you acquire them ( I remember letting Mateus loose in the Rabanastre sewers on those frogs and he died in 2 hits lol), the story was lacking, the game had the color pallette of Vagrant story ( gray and yellow were the main colors) it felt like a grindy MMO.

Final Fantasy was known for turned based combat and they changed to action based to appeal to more people. Why sugar coat it? You’re not going to spin a narrative that FF’s defining characteristic wasn’t turn based when the whole world knows it was. This is just dodging the uncomfortable reality that they shifted the franchise at its core for a broader appeal.
FF hasn't been real turn-based since FF7 fam. ATB is not turn based, it's real time combat with pause in menus.

Still not played it I've been putting it off I loved the demo & bought it after that but I've been waiting for a patch that improves the frame rate

If you like the narrative and spectacle the most from Final Fantasy, you are going to love it. It's an incredible game and the best FF experience since FFX, imo.
