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’ve always enjoyed turn based combat, but I remember when I fell in love with it. Playing Divinity: Original Sin 2 on the absolute most brutal difficulty level. Some battles I had to fight several times because literally every single player and every single action had to be min/maxed to the extreme or I’d lose party members and/or the game. Sooo much fun! Some battles took hours. My partner thinks I’m crazy, but I love that shit.
