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

Some of the latter spell combos can be a bit hard to remember but for the most part they make sense.

Its been 15+ years and I can still remember a handful of combos, like Zan+watt = blizzard storm (prolly wrong name), foi+ zan= firestorm. Demi and wren have a combo which is good against robots.

You don't need to know all the combos, in fact the less ya know the better. Ya throw together an attack plan then BAM random combo that kills everything
