Message: [QUOTE="SkunkyBeaumont, post: 37238, member: 20390"] The problem is twofold. First, the games that are being made with turn based combat in mind are not being made based on gameplay mechanics, but story. Now, the problem being is there isn't a lot of player agency in JRPGs, and the focus is on the story telling as opposed to the gameplay, and trust me guys, the older you get, the less you empathize with your average Shonen style story. This brings us the second problem, which is the lack of gameplay innovation in turn based battle systems. We're talking about a battle system that has really been there and done that. The OG, a 50 year old behemoth of a mechanic that I really doubt you could do anything new with, I think the last game to really make an interesting tweak to turn based combat was Earthbound (Mother 2) with the HP counters rolling in real time. If you acted quick enough, you could save a character from lethal damage. [/QUOTE]
