    9, 6, 10.

    Everything after X-2 is an abomination and I refuse to acknowledge it is even the same franchise.

    I will fite you

      I dare you to complete 13-2. It’s everything a final fantasy should be and barely needs 13 or 13-3.

        If it isn’t turn-based, I’m not playing it. No idea who the fuck thought it was pivot literally the MOST ICONIC turn based IP into action combat but I want to scoop their eyes out with grapefruit spoon.

        To honor your engagement, I’ll watch a walkthrough, but I’m serious about how unbelievably, incandescently fuckdamn bitter I am that FF dropped turn-based combat in favor of MMO inspired action.

        And that goes double for the FF7 remake that I have literally waited decades for.

        At this point, Fuck Square. Seriously. Fuck them hard. There are already TONS of action adventures out there, why did they have to do this to my favorite turn based?

          Why not just play Indie then? Same pixel base, same classic combat style. Pixel Remasters are a thing too if you’re looking for nostalgia instead.

          It’s not like Squenix IP was special between FF iterations. Maybe a chocobo, moogle, and cactuar, but otherwise fairly different contexts in most titles.

          Hell one of the few things Pokemon gets shit on still for is being turn based.

            What makes you think I don’t? I am specifically referring to the asstastic turn that the Final Fantasy series made after X-2, and dropping turn based combat is only part of it.

            Yes, because people in general are fucking idiots who have no idea and just like to hear their voices.

            Turn based will always be the superior option in RPGs and most tactical games. Whoever started the ‘shitting on turn based’ trend needs to be fed to a woodchipper.
