Debatable. Certainly after the transition to more action-y combat FF in particular has not been that great. XIII and its ilk as well as XV did not do themselves any favors with trying to be more AARPG in their combat (though it was by no means their only problem). But earlier titles had some banger combat, even in the "modern" era. FFX-2 and FFXII for example have absolutely amazing combat, arguably the best in all of (main-line) FF. But they're not really action games, and the current market seems to gravitate toward that kind of gameplay.
