Go back to your roots...make a sprite game again.

I'm so sick of polished turds and needing flashing shit on the screen while fighting.

I want a turn based, ff3(6) style adventure with amazing story and music. I don't want live combat MMO style 3d with weird story and cars that you can't do anything with. I want to play the reason I fell in love with final Fantasy.

I personally couldn't stand anything after like ff9 and even then I prefer sprites.

Isn't Octopath Traveler basically that? I didn't play it, but that's what it looked like.

Also, did anyone play Final Fantasy Dimensions 1 and 2? They were literally that.

Also, Dungeon Encounters was a ton of fun. But it's essentially no story, pure turn based combat.

It was exactly that, yes.

A lot of their 2.5 D games are actually pretty damn good.

I had a lot of fun with Triangle Strategy and I heard a lot of good things about Octopath 2
