The suppression of ferroelectricity by quantum fluctuations is investigated within a nonlinear polarizability model. A mass dependence of the quantum fluctuation dominated state is discovered which can extend to rather high temperatures as compared to known quantum paraelectrics. In addition a crossover from order-disorder to displacive dynamics is observed when ferroelectricity is suppressed. A phase appears in a regime where deviations from the high-temperature behavior set in, where polar precursors coexist with paraelectric quantum fluctuations. Elastic stiffness is found to crucially contribute to mode-mode coupling and the stability of the system.
