>Final Fantasy is too experimental
FF has always tried new things. But for two thirds of the franchise these experiments at least stayed within the genre.
Genre shifting was a huge fucking mistake.

Even if they wanted to make something like FF16, it should have unironically been a Mana game. The action RPG spinoff series.

Riddle me this. Why aren't those games named Final Fantasy and why their AAA action games must be called Final Fantasy?

Literally nothing wrong with that. People associate FF with turn-based for a reason and you dont just drastically change the direction of the series and expect no reprecussions for it.

It's that simple.

>the series was consistently some variant of turnbased for the vast majority of the entries and for the majority of the franchise's existence
>the most successful and popular entries were also all some variant of turnbased
>but square enix now refuses to make final fantasy turnbased anymore
>and nu"fans" act as if turnbased gameplay is archaic and bad, and defends square enix when they refuse to make turnbased final fantasy
Why is this?

It's not a creativity or nostalgia issue. The series has an established identity and people have grown attached to it. Since X, Square thought they could violate this golden rule and the franchise has been paying the price ever since. When people ask for remakes they are indirectly asking Square to drop the action combat bullshit and get back to doing turn-based again. What they didn't expect was Mr. KH reading it as him being given greenlight for more action combat and KH story telling. It also doesn't help that FF7 suffers from compilation cancer.
