Since Clair Obscur Expedition 33 Won the Game Awards add a turn based mode to FFXIV!

And then the players will call it the worst game ever made and Squeenix will pivot back to action or some other combat gameplay type. Because that's the thing, a game can have turn-based combat gameplay and still be a bad game. E33 is widely loved and praised because it's a good game, not because it has turn-based combat gameplay.

No.

SE moved on from turn-based because technology allowed for more active styles of combat. Gameplay like we saw in Kingdom Hearts, FFXV, and even FFXIV, were a logical next step from THE ATB systems on the PS1 FF titles.

FFXVI being so action oriented was a common criticism since the RPG part of the gane is barely there anymore, and now E33 proves that a narrative game with deep turn-based combat can still do enormously well. E33's praises include it's unique combat system.

Besides, SE still makes such games with Octopath Traveler and Bravely Default, but neither series are designed to the scale of Final Fantasy, and after XVI and E33, players are asking for a new FF with turn-based focussed combat.
