Soriku- I heard there's an opening at IGN, sounds like you might fit right in there.

OT: Very happy with the results of the poll. Turn-based battle systems are a skill just like anything else, they are no more or less relevant than an action system. They are just different. The only thing that matters is that it is done well. Oh, and please god make Square change Final Fantasy back to turn-based, it used to be so good!



No one in the world ever gets what they want, and that is beautiful.

When it's on a home console , turn based is too slow for me
But when it's on a portable console , it's okay

i don't know why , maybe I'm crazy



           Sequel I want the most :

Patapon 3 , Elite beat Agent 2 , ROTK 12 , Mother 4, Legend of legaia      3, Resident Evil outbreak 3.

FFXIII worked extremely well in terms of giving an action feel & fast paced feel but being challenging at the same time.

It worked fantastically combined with the amazing animations in battle.

I want to see Turn Based RPG Systems become like that, maybe they can slow it down slightly & add the ability to switch characters.

Apart from this I love SO4's battle system too. Seriously apart from DS I dunno if I can enjoy Turn based (Traditional style) anymore.

Arrogance should be too

Soriku have you played EarthBound or Mother 3 yet?

This is super relevant.

I think it's because they are making turn based RPGs too complicated. The very benefit of having it turn based is the simplicity. They shouldn't take that away.

I disagree...simple turn based battle systems are boring. I'd prefer something more than just Attack, Defend, Magic...

@Khuutra

Not yet. But somehow I doubt its battle system would make me prefer turn based more.

Try it out.

EarthBound first.

I disagree, I don't like Action based RPGs because I am kinda slow, and I like to take my time to formulate astrategy. I don't even like that much the system where a bar fills up for your turn, I just like the infinite time to think :P



Above: still the best game of the year.

Attack, Defend, Magic is awesome :(

 

I want all of the advanced stuff to be outside of the battles where it's not in the way :)



I LOVE ICELAND!

I love turn based,and probably always will, Action RPGs on the other hand are hit and miss with me(And most of the ones that hit have turn based elements such as Kingdom Hearts and the Tales series/Star Ocean).
