Just want to discuss something about what Yoshinori Kitase said.

Kitase said that action RPG's are "becoming a trend" and "one you ignore at your peril." That means there's a big chance that Final Fantasy XV will be labeled an "action RPG."

"Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy XIII-2‘s battle systems have those elements of speed and action that are the key words for us, though that doesn’t necessarily mean we’re going to stick to the same route in our next game."

I don't think gamers is moving away from turn based but instead, forced away from turn based because developers stopped making the system. SSsooo, we "moved away" because we didn't have a choice, so you ignore this forced trend "at your own peril."

end rant.
