When some people complained that FF 7 Remake was not normal turn based they were ridiculed for liking an outdated concept.

In fact, most people I see say turn based RPGs are stupid and boring and are as outdated as board games.

Why do so many people hate Turn based RPGs?

I think most people think turn-based is more boring and that action is much cooler. In part I enjoy turn base a lot due to the older games. I am kinda scared of the future as the newer generation who are not exposed to the older games might not like the concept of turn based.

Turn based is fine. the problem is they don't keep it fast paced. Look at bravely default, and how great that turn based is :D.
Anyone who spent more then 5 minutes on any fight in a turn based game didn't understand how to properly play it. I read people who played FFX who said some fights took them an hour, and if thats the case, they didn't understand how to properly play the game.

Final Fantasy X has the best combat system.

I was literally just wondering this myself and thinking about starting a thread asking people why they think turn based is outdated. I cannot understand why they think it is as it's a basic gameplay mechanic and gameplay mechanics don't go out of date. How can they? Serious question.

It strange as in no other game genre (not RPG) do people complain about such a thing. No one complains Street Fighter is still stuck on a 2D plane and hit the other person 'til dead. No one complains some platformers are still just run and jump. These are basic gameplay mechanics and can't go out of date.

Maybe it's Final Fantasy, no one complains Pokemon is turn based (seriously, pokemon ruins people's arguments), yet what confuses me is why people seem to not want a ATB FF when that is all it has EVER been (pretty much). Why are you interested in a game series at all and want them to change their basic gameplay mechanic in order for you to buy it? Go play something else that does fit the criteria you want.

I wonder if people just don't understand how the ATB or tactical turn based RPGs work. Chess is the best and one of the oldest games ever created, no one is updating it to be more action orientated.

I find more people prefer turn based.

Fixed that for you. ^_-

I'll also give Lost Odyssey a nod.

I´d like turn based too.
It´s a shame to change so much such a core feature. I wish devs focused these changes on spin offs or completely different series. Dragon Quest does it best imo.

Exactly this! I've seen people say that turn based is stupid because it looks stupid.

Completely agree. It is a design choice and not some relic as some seem to think.
