Turn based combat was borne from restriction, not creative decision. Game developers didn't make turn based RPGs because that's what they wanted to make, but because it was the only way to simulate in-depth strategic combat at the time. Now, with technology being what it is, we have ways to do what the Greats of yore wanted to but couldn't. By partaking in and/or creating works with this archaic system you are not only a luddite, you are ironically also an uncultured philistine with no regard for tradition. You are the worst of both worlds.

Stopped reading here, you don’t even know what they were about, merely regurgitating buzzwords.

there is plenty of merit in turn based games, twitch reflexes and galaxy brain calculation are two completely different skillsets

also, trying to control a multi character party without it being turn based or ATB is a goddamn mess. it's basically like trying to play an RTS and that's a dead genre because of how difficult it is if you're not korean

I prefer Turn-Based over RTWP.
I prefer Action overall but for RPGs i think Turn-Based is the superior form.
I don't like most JRPGs TB systems though but i like most of the western ones.

oh man windows xp that's a great meme

everyone eventually comes full circle and realizes turn based sucks a dick. the only reason people did turn based was because they couldn't figure out how to pull it all off real time. games like path of exile are the true evolution

i'm going to give you an unironic counterargument here

when i was in my teens and early 20s, my main games were UT99, quakeworld, brood war, and then in my late 20s, kept playing bw and quake, but also picked up halo, then league of legends

now that i'm almost 40 and suffer from severe physical conditions, i just can't play games that require ridiclous twtich reflexes, but my mind is still there, and that's part of the reason why i exist on your board, i've retired into turn based and ATB based jrpgs and fairy chess, but there's nowhere on 4chan to discuss fairy chess

i feel like by time all us millenials and zoomers are [deusex]oldmen[/deusex] living in nursing homes, we're just going to be playing vidya against each other all day, but we're gonna be so terrible at it we're gonna be on par with the 8 year olds

Is all zoomer humour just "haha look at this silly niggerbabble"?
