This isn't an FF7R shill thread. I disliked a great many things about the remake however the combat is the best step in direction a JRPG series can take right now.
I am so fucking sick of getting to the mid to late game section of a JRPG and just wiping every encounter with a single move. In FF7 I actually felt like I was putting in effort to overcome battles and the gated hard mode was exactly the challenge I was looking for.
Some games are better for it but turn based is in an awkward situation where the battle end too fast with no skill or take too long and get boring. Once you get a multi hit phys skill in Persona the difficulty basically goes down the drain.
Thoughts on turn based combat?

I don't mind having both.

Turn based feels good when the game is fast. Turn based feels awful when all the animations are slow and the game wants you to watch a shitty sweeping camera fly around the battlefield. Also if it involves sleep inducing ATB.
SMT is one of the few turn based series that makes turn based feel good and fast. Tales games have the most fun JRPG combat in general though.

Fuck no, if you want to play an action game, go play an action game and let me play my 4 niggaz in a row games

You dont like JRPGs if you dont like turn based combat. FF7R is closer to DMC5 than it is FF7. Another action adventure game wearing the skin of a beloved JRPG game

SMT and Persona do have really good turn based systems. They are the only ones I can really tolerate these days. However my problem comes with the difficulty drop off after early game. The only way to make SMT bosses hard it to make them unfair.

I like turn based combat, it is functional and much better than real time w/ pause in CRPGs like Pillars of Eternity.
But JRPG party based combat has run its course, there are literally thousands of those types of games back from the 90s, so I don't get why you can't just emulate them.
