Almost every complaint about the ShB job changes could be solved with talents

Let's not start with the "Game x has action combat, game x failed, therefore action combat failed." bullcrap, because then I'm just going to claim WoW failed because of GCD therefore we should get rid of GCD in FFXIV. And we all know FFXV's combat was one of its upsides, it certainly did not fail because of it. Not to mention it sold 2.5mil copies on the ps4 alone.

FF7R's combat system has similarities to the old system, but so what? Every hack n slash game can be said to be similar to the oldest hack n slash system, that doesn't mean Diablo 1 and devil may cry 5 are on the same level of modernness. Did you actually see the FF7R gameplay? It's looks like a fusion of several different systems blending together seamlessly, the combat is smooth and has good flow, it's quick when need bursting, and you land good combos to recharge faster, they are clearly trying something new and fairly modern... I don't know why you are being sarcastic, FF7R is really not helping your case.
