Since 7459 DaysI can't see the FF series going back to the old school ATB gameplay that it used to be so well known for, too bad really.
Saying that I have played the FF13 demo and its not so bad, you are way too busy with one character to beable to control 3, I still get the feeling that the gameplay will become very tedious by the end of the game though.

Since 7599 DaysOh yeah and the insanely melodramatic story delivered in cutscenes where the editor was like "I could edit this, or.. not. Okay I won't.".
Persona 4's combat is slightly better paced, but the systems are of comparable depth. I really think most reviewers were just put off by the context LO's battles were presented in. At least that's my gripe with it, but the combat still had me trucking through it to the very Turtles-esque ending where they somehow found a loophole in their own logic within the span of a final battle.

Since 7459 DaysThe only problem with the stealth bit and puzzle aspects which you mention were the fact that you still had random fights during those phases which became incredibly irritating, yes it was bad game design, however these parts were fairly small in number across the whole game and the only one that I remember with anykind of dislike was the mansion part.
Persona 4 had two features in its game play you could take each turn across all characters or set it so the other two characters took their own turn (which from what i remember was the default setting), so depending on who you ask criticism could be different depending on how they played it.
FF13 plays out similarly to one of the options you get in Persona 4, I do agree with Alimo that it is short sighted to not add a slower take turn per character option though, at least for older fans of the series that remember how 7-10 played, but SE have pretty much said before that FF games are about the new generation on JRPG fans not the ones that made the series a success.

Since 7506 DaysFF7 sold MILLIONs and it had turn based combat, FF12 sold Millions but less than FF7 anyway.They think they are making it appeal more to the mainstream but they are lossing traditional gamers too which kind of renders the process pointless.

Since 7599 DaysIf you really like turn based stuff though there is an extensive back catalogue of great RPGs to play. Sure some of them look a bit rough nowadays, but if you play them for their gameplay you can still enjoy hundreds of hours of the kind of RPG combat you prefer. I think it would be rather awkward if the series synonymous with JRPG didn't keep attempting new challenges.
