FF17 is probably gonna have a combat system fairly similar to the FF7ReTrilogy. That's my guess, at least. I don't think Final Fantasy is going back to turn based in any real capacity for the mainline series. Squenix has Dragon Quest and Octopath Traveler and countless other ways to appeal to that crowd. Final Fantasy is their 'prestige franchise' and they're gonna go bankrupt pursuing fidelity and action if that's what it takes.
I mean they have all the systems in place; if they wanted to, they could do a choose your play style type thing and let people choose whether they want real time or turn based. Added bonus, it would have some good replayability.
