i tried playing an ATB game a few times in past recent years.
know what happened?
i almost dozed off and turned the game off.
Xenogears was a Combo driven RPG from SE long ago & an absolutely stellar game as well. While FF7 Remake is no longer FF7 via opting to go the Xenogears route.
I would had personally preferred a straight up Remastered Edition keeping the core gameplay simply due to how iconic FF7 is & was. While I did enjoy Xenogears combo combat such just seems out of place & out of order in FF7

Hearing his claim that Xenogears was supposed to be the original FF7 is rather fitting tbh considering the FF7 Remake copied Xenogears combat.
