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?

Turn based games like XCOM, Tactics Ogre, and Final Fantasy Tactics are all excellent for this IMO because they don't necessarily require complex strategies unless you're doing completionist or challenge type playthroughs.
