A major reason I play RPGs is for gameplay, so I do look for that aspect. But I don't quarrel over if its turn based or action based. I like games in both times.

It takes a real deviation like Symphony of the Night or Odin Sphere to get to the point where I think Action 'RPGs' get the job done right. Diablo II is about the best I have seen, but that became its own genre entirely.
However, one series has clearly perfected turn based RPGs, and that's Dragon Quest.
Six upcoming games you should look into:
