In my opinion, turn based RPGs need to be fast paced in battle (like Bravely Default, FF4-9, Dragon Quest, Lufia 2, Chrono Trigger, Xenosaga 3) then they beat any action RPG. On the other hand games like FFX or FFXIII with extremely slow paced battle systems with looooong battles and a high amount of input required during them, make me fall asleep. I also hate pure action RPGs because I play games to relax.
A perfect mix is Xenoblade, the fast but relaxed battle system beats any action RPG. You can lean back and enjoy the game. FFXII does it the wrong way because you need hours before each bigger fight just to customize gambits in the menu.
