The Z-Trigger team return to do a more in-depth discussion of turned based combat and try and hash out exactly why people have seemed to turn against it.
Square Enix announced its financial results for the first nine months of the fiscal year, related to the period between April and December 2025.
Final Fantasy 7 is one of the most iconic video games of all time, with it helping to changed the RPG landscape when it was released in 1997.

I bought the game yesterday on steam for $4 because Square Enix is trying to replace it with a version that has no mod support.

3D Investment Partners, a major shareholder of Square Enix, issued a 112-page presentation criticizing the company's 'sluggish' revenue and profit margins.
If your response to a 112 page presentation from a profit-maximizing investment fund about the need for corporate restructuring (i.e. layoffs), integrating non-gaming (i.e. sell merch or build a theme park) and other corporate initiatives, is that it's about "go woke, go broke", then it's because you've lost the ability to think in any terms. Awful way to live your life. Private equity is destroying the games industry while you obsess that Square made a cringe game everyone thinks is cringe in 2023. Time to move on.
Waaah waaah our profits aren't big enough! I mean, they're still growing and all, but we want it faster and NOW! Waaaah!
Rather than stating "people" have turned against turn based combat, it should state "devs" have turned against turn based combat. Many "people" including myself would love more turned based combat RPG's, I'm looking at you FFVIIR.
