Message: [QUOTE="dropsmegamega, post: 290521, member: 780"] Depends of what they are going for. For classic JRPGs, Nocturne is always my choice, its such a refined system imo... the animations are neither too long nor too short, it doesn't feel unbalanced like how IV would feel harder at the beginning, the chance of new random enemies joining the fight can make even random encounters not feel like just pushovers, the press turn makes it important to know yours and the enemies weaknesses, but its not as broke as IV or V where you are often encouraged to fuse a whole new party for bosses, etc. I also like a lot the turn based style of games like Temple of Elemental Evil and BG3, which consider character placement and sometimes terrain, but aren't stuck on grids. I hate grids. There is the possibility for some really unique battles and solutions by simply playing with room layouts, even if they don't always explore it very well. Finally I am one of these people that enjoy RTwP. It can be quite chaotic, but in games like BG and IWD it can pull some big scale battles without feeling a slog (like imagine waiting for 20+ enemies to make their move) and it can be surprisingly strategic too, just in a different way from turn based. DA:O was going in the right direction, they just needed more enemy variety and better dungeon design, but then DA2 came and they just gave up. [/QUOTE]
