Just out of curiosity, what did you guys wanting char switch expect? A different mechanic for every char, like TPS shooting for Prompto (what about the others, though?)?
FF1,2,3,5: Four characters on screen
FF4: 5 characters on screen
FF6: Four characters on screen, crap load of extra characters swappable
FF7: Three Characters on screen, change characters using menu
FF8: Three characters on screen, change characters using menu
FF9: Four characters on screen, change characters using menu
FF10: Three characters on screen; switchable to other three inactive (right?! its been a WHILE since I played X)
FF12: Three characters on screen; switchable to other two, or gambit based "auto-battle"
FF13: Three characters on screen; individual control of all, or auto-battle.
FF15: Four characters on screen; control of Noctis, but "auto-battle" of others(?)
I just want a fun, epic, memorable, and 11/10 Final Fantasy again.
But having four characters on screen again will be a nice return to the original 6 plus 9 GAMES!
