actually had a talk about this recently
i think with today's graphics - specifically xvi's, turn based might actually be quite innovative even if it is a "step back"
a reimagination of turn based translated to today's modern engines would be quite a turn imo

For turn based to be entertaining it has to have a lot of bells and whistles for me, even then I am more interested in the theme of the game or the story than the actual combat. Now, I haven't played any other FF games really, but from what I can recall, they are kind of like team based pokemon battles, right? As for the new FF being action or turn based, it makes no real difference to me personally.

fair enough and i quite agree there'd need to be at least some innovation past "cool graphics turn based"
