For all the people saying turn-based isn't outdated, what would you consider a good example of a turn-based battle system in a modern AAA title?

Not saying I agree as I think a modernised, turn based system could still work for FFVII, but some examples would be nice.

Unfortunately there haven't been many lately, kind of why FF7 retaining the turn based format is so important to me.

But some examples of good ones in recent years are: Lost Odyssey, Valkyria Chronicles, South Park Stick of Truth, Child of Light, Bravely Default, Persona 4 Golden (and hopefully Persona 5 too), Wasteland 2, The Banner Saga & probably some more I can't think of right now. Ok, some of those aren't AAA but they were all highly rated and well received by fans. And there is also Xcom too, not an RPG but it still uses a good turn based battle system.

XCom is a real good example of a deeply strategic turn-based game (even if it's not a RPG). I would spend so much time figuring out the perfect move but pulling off a perfect mission where your whole team survives was so satisfying.
