Really? I do have it installed. I can't believe it can be worse...

As long as the industry is closed-minded, I will be as well. It's as simple as that.

If we had other AAA turn-based games, this wouldn't be as big of a deal. But, that's not the case.

Edit: And WHOA! Are YOU really pulling the "technical limitations" BS!? I thought you were better than that...If Square wanted the original FF7 to be an ARPG, that's exactly what it would have been. I swear, I'm going to start claiming that AR...

@Edmix:

That's because they're not AAA.

They betrayed that faith the moment they showed the gameplay.

I thought The Last Story was a decent game, but it didn't feel at all like a Final Fantasy game (especially because it was an ARPG).

They marketed it, but it was on the wrong console. Simply by releasing it on the PS3 instead, it would have sold millions.

I thought the exact same thing. Palom and Porom, from FF4.

I'm playing this for the first time right now. I'm about 45 hours in, on disc 4. I had always heard people call this "the real Final Fantasy 13". After finally playing it, I can confirm that Sakaguchi took Final Fantasy with him when he left Square. Though, I'd refer to it as "the real Final Fantasy 11", despite the fact that Sakaguchi himself was responsible for that one.

It just hasn't been the same since 11 made the first genre chang...

@smashman:

That's not the point. It's not about liking or disliking either genre. Tales of should never be turn-based (unless it's a spinoff), and Final Fantasy should never be action (unless it's a spinoff). And, of course, the situation is 9999 times worse when big turn-based games have all but vanished.

@nommers:

We know it's an ARPG. I don't know why people keep saying otherwise. And, no, ATB was not action at all. It was turn-based, where the turn order was based on a timer.

@VerdicLinwe:

If FF7's gameplay is archaic, then the gameplay in every game is archaic. You're being incredibly selective. What you actually mean to say, is that you DON'T LIKE IT.

Gotta love Google Translate.

The NX to this point has sounded interesting...

But...this just reeks of mobile crap...

I actually think PS2 was better than PS1, but I agree that it's all been downhill since then.

For me, it's not a Sony problem; it's an industry problem.

Every AAA game is just the same crap all over again.

Out of curiosity, I just got up and looked at my game collection. The last AAA game I bought was Skyrim (2011).

To add on top of this, the VAST majority of non-AAA games are just flat-out shovelware.

You think it's irrational to be upset that a remake of a turn-based RPG is an action-RPG? You'd also see people upset if a remake of a Star Ocean game or Tales of game was turn-based.

Turn-based games have been treated like absolute s*** for over a decade now, and I won't support it.

Since it's not turn-based, it's not Final Fantasy 7.

I only have one question, and it's the same question I ask every year, that has kept me away from the series:

Sounds of the Show?

But it's not because ONE genre got unpopular. It's that all but the shooter/action stuff is shovelware.

And Sega. Then, force them to sit in a room together.
