Oh, Wild ARMs!! Absolutely agree. I'm not opposed to change, and I know to a degree there will always be a line of games humouring old people like me—Octopath, Bravely Default &c.—but I do sometimes feel as if something of the wonder has been lost in the translation to more action based combat in FF games.

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply Pokémon was doing away with turn based, as, agreed, from that clip of the Legends game, it looks like the combat is much the same—I just live in fear of the use of the phrase "action RPG" nowadays as it's such a blanket term that, with the use of levelling up mechanics, you could argue that Call of Duty or whatever is an RPG. I mean, I'd violently oppose you, but I can understand how someone would say that if only presented with the facts of the mechanics on paper.

I don't really have a horse in the race though, as I think both of the "new" games announced look fine, and I totally understand people being excited for them, but I'm kind of... indifferent.
