Yeah because there are no mainstream turn-based RPGs with random encounters out there to hook a new young generation of... oh wait
Honestly, don't give a damn how the combat is. Whether it's turn based or not I'm not in this for details like that. Whether it has turn-based combat, FFXII's combat, FFXV's combat or even FFXIV's combat, I'm in this for the story, the characters, the setting and the boootyfull graphics.
Not saying your opinions and preferences aren't just as valid as mine, but I disagree that this game needs to have any specific combat system to be successful.
Agree 100%.
