The popular viewpoint on traditional JRPG gameplay has probably changed, particularly in the west, but there's still a market for it. That said, I'm pretty sure Square Enix is too fond of flashy stylishness to put something as methodical as the old ATB system in a console game. Just their portable/mobile games.
I have to say, if they were remaking FFVI instead, I'd be seriously eyeing a PS4 if it looked like the game would turn out to be any good. But based on how they desecrated FFVI with that mobile abomination, I'm not holding my breath.
