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.
