What it says on the tin. And by traditional, I mean FFV-IX style ATB. Why or why not?

True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: Leaving Havens gray with rain Now that years have slipped away Leaving friends with gentle pain As they start another day. The roads I travel I must leave For I've turned the final bend Weep not empty tears but grieve As the roads come to an end.
I'd like to believe we will,but the current culture at SE seems to be against this.
I think the closest we might ever get is something similar to ADB, as it seems like FFVIIR kinda flirted with that? But other than that I expect things to stay real time action at this point
I do not see SE ever returning to putting that combat system in the mainline series, no. At this point the semi-action battle systems have become part of the series' modern identity and they wouldn't risk alienating their new fans in favor of a return to roots. That's the role spinoff titles can take.
FFVIIR is the best implementation of action RPG based combat that still retains clear recognizable ATB elements. I would like an actual return to traditional ATB,but more games in the FFVIIR style would be a welcome compromise.
I doubt it, but "ever" is a long time so who knows
I for one don't lament ATB fading into obscurity, to me it's the worst part of FF5-9, as well as the worst FF combat system (yeah that includes the XIII trilogy)
