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? (media.piefed.social)

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

I honestly hate it. It’s the reason I won’t play BG3 It’s why I stopped playing final fantasy. I think it’s an antiquated system, just like invisible enemies and old resident evil style games where you can only walk in a straight line. Now I liked the Tales of visperia style where it’s a mix of turn based with free movement. But full on turn based makes me feel like I’m playing a board game
