Outside of Mass Effect and Chrono Trigger, I get so mad that RPGs usually have crap combat.  JRPGs use like the worst of turn based systems.  Chrono Trigger was by far the best.  I wish the whole genre would have just blatantly copied that and kept trying to improve upon it.  Real-time combat in a RPG (J or W) usually just means mindless brainless button mashing or something like Fallout 3 or Jade Empire where the action is terrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrible if you compared it to a real action game in a similar genre (ie compare Fallout 3 to any FPS or Jade Empire to like Ninja Gaiden, God of War, etc).

I love Chrono Trigger, but what's so great about the battle system?  It's just the same old menu-based, ATB-type stuff that Squaresoft pumped out for years.  Games like those in the Paper Mario series used a similar style but incorporated a few more action elements in what is generally considered to be an improvement.
