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?

Chess has no story but people play them.

Dragon Quest 1 has very little story, but I enjoy the game because of:

  • Simple but fun turn-based combat
  • Satisfying leveling up and rewarding grinding
  • Good music (at the time)
  • Exploration
  • source
  • parent
