I had heard it was confirmed as RTBs in Pokémon. How they're revamping the entire battle system. Now the only rumor besides Ultra Shiny I've heard is how the region is supposed to be Free Roam to the point it's like BotW, just not as big and vast.

Frankly I didn't like how the FF games were switched to the RTB system either, Neo. Honestly after you get used to it, it's pretty amazing. If they handle it right it's even better. FF14 is RT and it's great, but each dungeon or boss has battle mechanics you learn. Once you and the party get them down it's simple enough.
