I disagree. Just because it's action doesn't mean it's good and just because a combat system is fast doesn't mean it's good. Turn based can definitely work as long as the systems and mechanics that support and compliment the actual turn-based combat works well. Look at The Last Remnant. It's an engaging turn-based combat system with a lot of macromanagement. I never thought a game like TLR could exist. There's still a lot of untraveled territory and as long as the combat system remains engaging and cohesive, nothing really dies.
Square needs to put out something so different (that doesn't suck) that people simply forget that XIII ever existed. A new battle mechanic is completely warranted because they themselves destroyed their turn-based reputation irreparably, IMHO.
