I enjoy both turn-based and action combat. I like how turn-based combat allows for some strategies without being overly complex like in most TRPG.

I was a big fan of Final Fantasy 7 OG, but I can't get into FF7 remake mainly because of the hybrid combat. I would rather have it turn-based like in the original.

Turn-based games I like:
Final Fantasy 5,6,7,9,10. Dragon Quest series, Earthbound, Chrono Trigger, Super Mario RPG

Action-based RPG I like:
Fallout 3, Mass Effect, Skyrim

How do you feel about turn-based combat? Should more modern games adopt it, or is it best left as a thing of the past?

Persona 5 and more recently Clair Obscur proved people like TRPGs. Last month Square Enix said they'll also focus more on turn-based games. I think they're here to stay.

    Square Enix's smaller side projects have been hitting it out of the park lately, but it still feels like they really really really don't want to put a serious budget behind a turn-based title.
