Anywey, why do peope often use just like "die" "dead" or "kill" words ?

It's scary.


My thoughts, turn based rpg became niche genre. That's all.

Dead? Never. Dramatically decreasing in relevance? Absolutely. Pokemon is the last main stream bastion of hope for the battle system. If that goes, turn-based will be relegated to more niche franchises like SMT and Fire Emblem.

I still hold out hope that Pokemon will switch to a real time combat system like that of Ni No Kuni, and I wouldn't be even remotely surprised if that happened sooner or than later. Maybe Gen 9.

I'm sorry but.. yes...how long do you think people are gonna play FPS....i mean really....the market is FAT and saturated with COD;: BF; counterstrike.
Games like GTA5, Tomb Raider, Uncharted, Racing Games,...they all do well...

But yeah the Turn-based RPG genre...seemss kinda dead...pokemon and a few indie games that just arent AAA...

Pokemon says hi

Bravely Default says hi

Etc says hi

Edited: Forgot the rpgs part

I'd consider Pokemon and Civ AAA

I dont think pokemon is a good example. Lets not forget almost every pokemon game out there outsold every other contender on its genre (ie: pokken, pokemon go). It's just the franchise power

It's not dead. There are still tons of tb jrpg out there (trails, smt, EO). Ppl just dont bother with them, unless the game is made by Squenix or has persona on its title.

civ is not RPG.

But.... Jrpg turn based battle system really needs new innovation (which is why i applaud BD). After playing divinity:original sin, jrpg tb combat system feels archaic to me.

Let's see. Square Enix alone has released a turn based game this year and has 2 in production set to release in 2017. Then there is Persona, another high profile one. Oh yes and that niche game called Pokemon.

Doesn't seem that dead to me.

what two in production?
