O_o ?

What would be the point?

Multiplayer modes barely make sense for rpgs like baldurs gate (admittedly this can be fun to do, though).

But in a turn based game? I love turn based games, but I think they work best as single player experiances (which there is nothing wrong with).

Something like the new FFXV thats very action/hack n slash ish, could probably work in multiplayer though, if they designed multiplayer for a game like that.

A game like that could work.

Why are there multiplayer modes in any game?

Hearthstone is there for you. Basically it's the same thing except 3d characters.

I'm not sure a card game is the same thing as a turn based rpg....... it's not an rpg for a start.

Hearthstone plays very differently to a theoretical multiplayer final fantasy or persona.

Because it's cheap to make and easy to implement, but they don't care about $/minute obsessed gamers. :)

Strictly turn base I'm not sure if MP could work very well. How would one go about implementing MP in a game where one player controls the direction of the party through towns and the overworld? I guess they could try having 2 different parties acting at the same time or something. No developer probably hasn't figured out how to do MP in a turn based RPG, and likely isn't necessary. Other RPGs like tactics and whatever Tales is does, and it works out. Tales is pretty fun to play with friends.

It doesn't sound like it fits in turn-based Rpgs. Basically, the one with the highest level will probably win. The multiplayer in Action-based RPGs like the Souls series works very well, as it depends heavily on the player instant reactions and defensive style.

I wouldn't say that's the only heavily dependant thing xD

As long as it is reasonably balanced, of course. I slaughtered a lot of those invaders by dual welding of great swords, In addition to Dark buff. No amount of strategy or good reactions will ever work when the balance is completely broken.

In Turn-based, the level seems to be the only factor that matters.
