No. People have just been so dried of not having an AAA RPG title that having one now when every other major RPG is either Bethesda slop, Dragon Quest, Pokemon or whatever just feels much more refreshing. The last time a major turn based RPG was released was over 10 years ago in FF13. Think about that.
And some will mention Octopath but no one fucking talks about it. Bravely Default gets much more conversation and is better known and it came out on the fucking 3DS. OT just looks lazy and uninspired, even if when you play it, it's probably good. So when something came along that appealed to that older sense of "pushing the limits of fantasy games" like old FF, E33 took off.
Also, it's a FOTM game that was shadowdrops. Shadowdrops seem to work much better in bigger budget games for some reason.

People are retarded, but the answer is very layered deep down.
