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.

 

I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE the team up attacks and the active time battle.  All the time that I was playing Lost Odyssey I kept thinking... you have to learn link up two characters to learn a skill... why can't they do team up attacks.

I just love team up attacks.  My favorite street fighter game is Marvel vs Capcom 2, my favorite Dead or Alive is the one with tag team battles and my favorite Tekken is Tekken Tag Tournament.  Team up attacks are pure win imo.  Any RPG with team up attacks instantly has one of the best battle systems ever imo.
