I am talking about the other post about this Article here that got posted a few hours ago:

https://insider-gaming.com/square-enix-will-make-more-turn-based-games-clair-obscur-expedition-33/

Final Fantasy purists would probably love the return of a purely turn-based FF game. According to a translated post from Genki, one Square Enix investor is pushing for the company to return to its roots.

“At the Square Enix shareholders meeting, one investor said they would like the new Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy games to be turn-based and highlighted Expedition 33’s success as an example,” it’s claimed.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has experienced massive success as a turn-based RPG. There’s plenty of life left in the genre, and Square recognizes this. “Square Enix responded that they are aware of Expedition 33 and believe that command-based RPGs are the origin of Square Enix. They value the genre of command-based RPGs, and plan to continue delivering such games in the future.“

The big problem here is that Genki made a mistake, that they themselves corrected.

The person quoted here is NOT an Investor but rather an investment media reporter

Here is a fuller translation of what was actually said, by Audrey @aitaikimochi on Twitter:

I've seen a lot of articles about this person's tweet, and this guy is not an investor but just an investment media reporter.

He suggested the following to Square Enix:

1. They should focus on quality over quantity and release at least one Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest title each year

2. Due to the popularity of Clair Obscur Expedition 33, he thinks it might be good to have the next FF or DQ titles have a turn-based system

Square Enix only answers that they are indeed aware of Clair Obscur and do agree that turn-based systems are part of their origins.

In the shareholder meeting report that this user talks about, Square Enix neither praises Expedition 33 nor do they consider going back to turn-based systems.

They simply answer by acknowledging the fact that yes, their origins are indeed from turn-based battle systems.

However they DO state that they understand the importance of turn-based games and do plan to release more of them in the future.

That does NOT mean it's going to be Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest related.

We do know they are releasing FF Tactics, which is turn-based, but nowhere in their answer and this summary tweet does it imply that they are considering it for the next mainline FF or DQ title.

It's just kind of a basic answer to a suggestion posed by a journalist.

Genki themselves also posted:

CORRECTION: The person that asked the question is an Investment Media Reporter, not an investor.

Note: This response does not mean that the next mainline Final Fantasy will be turn-based. Just that they will continue to make turn-based games like they have always and still are doing.
