Some quotes:
“When we look at the specs for the Nintendo Switch 2 and Steam Deck,” Hamaguchi said. “It’s really getting comparable to the PS5 and Xbox consoles,” they explained. “We do want to keep a focus on the consoles as well, but we also want to keep the handheld devices and their audiences in mind.”
…
“Nowadays there are many different ways to play available for us. For example, the Steam Deck, that many players use now,” he said. “We have more freedom now. Currently, even high-definition games aren’t played at home. Considering the diversity of ways one can play a game, we believe it’s important to think about it and to adapt to these new modes of play.”
You can beat 90% of the fights in all of the final fantasy turn based games just by mashing x.
Like. In emulators if you speed the game up and just set the attack button to rapid fire on one key you can get through almost everything. Including a lot of bosses.
The remake is far more action oriented I agree. But I don’t think any of the games have been particularly strategic excepting a few specific boss fights that require specific things to be done.
I miss turn-based battles, too. I can‘t see shit in this flashy mess.
