Message: [QUOTE="Somnia, post: 38298, member: 26523"] Aside from Final fantasy 7, what other remakes has this happened to? Persona 3, Super Mario RPG, Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door and Romancing SaGa 2 maintained their battle systems albeit with some changes/improvements. Not as recent but the Dragon Quest 7 and 8 remakes on 3DS kept their battle systems too. As far as remasters, obviously none of them had their turn based combat ripped out since they're merely the original game with some quality of life improvements and potentially some visual updates. It is certainly true that we have very few AAA RPGs with turn based combat compared to back in the day but we also just get far fewer AAA RPGs period. Atlus is still truckin along with their turn based games and while there is still a chance that Dragon Quest XII ends up being an action game, as it stands that is still a AAA turn based RPG. With middle market and indie stuff, you still have a fair few turn based options but that's a given. I have long thought the whole "The industry has given up on turn based combat" sentiment was a bit hyperbolic. Plenty of turn based games release every year if you're really looking. THAT SAID I do wish we got some smaller scale Final Fantasy games with turn based combat. I disagree with the sentiment that a mainline game couldn't sell with turn based (assuming that's the reason) but there's little reason they couldn't give us a spin-off title of some kind that featured turn-based battles and a return to the old job system or something. Atelier also ditching turn based combat is a bit sad though I at least have damn near 15 turn based games in the franchise so I can't say there isn't a ton of content there. [/QUOTE]
