lol, how was FF X's battle system deep? :P I liked the Sphere Grid but when it came to the actual battling it wasn't much different from other turn based games.
I agree completely. FFX has one of the most overrated battle systems in the series. The battle system is one of the main reasons the game was so trivially easy: you always know who's going to move when, and you can always switch in other characters.
I don't understand your point. I never said they were opposites. Coffee and tea are different, but not opposites. Can you expand on what you are trying to say more, or are you misreading what I am saying?
Your statement seemed to me to imply that turn-based isn't archaic because it's a different genre from action RPGs, and it's nonsensical to call an entire genre archaic or outdated. I just wanted to point out that there's a lot of room for fiddling with what exactly constitutes turn-based combat. Some games, like FFXIII, have done a great job at renovating "turn-based" combat without actually crossing the line into action RPG territory.
