After months of hearing about how Final Fantasy needed to become Devil May Cry because RPGs are dead...
This sounds like a strawman to me. Maybe you meant that people were claiming that "JRPGs are dead"? In which case, holding up Baldur's Gate 3 of evidence to counter that seems strange. But I haven't heard anyone saying that RPGs in general are a dying genre.

Yeah. What I wanted was something like the graphics of FF7 remaster with the underlying game elements of FFX, the whacky classes of FFTA2 and FFX-2 and the scriptable party behavior of FFXII. And it’s just nothing like that.

And here I am just wishing they’d make another final fantasy exactly like FFIX.

Back then I wasn’t a fan of the cartoony character design, but I definitely had my fill of hyper-realism in Final Fantasy.

As someone who has FFVI as his most replayed final fantasy, the return to cartoony that FFIX offered was such a bliss to me but I remember that it was really controversial back then.
IIRC people who prefered PSx era final fantasy didn’t care much for 9 while those who prefered SNES era generally liked it.
