Message: [QUOTE="Pandaprewmaster325, post: 82210, member: 217919"] Maybe it is? Maybe not? Baldur gate 3 a recent success in the AAA market (was it AAA or AA?) Had turn based combat and it worked the game blew all over the internet proving that maybe turn based still has a place. If I have to compare which is more engaging real time or turn based? Of course real time the action is instant. Let me bring an example of me playing diablo 2 to any Final Fantasy game and set the timer to 1 minute , in minute in Final Fantasy games I would get into a random encounter and spend the next 30-50 seconds just doing one battle , in diablo 2 in 30 seconds I could have killed 15 enemies then ran for 10 seconds and opened a chest and picked the loot I want all this in 1 minute which is more engaging to the casual? Instant actions everything happening fast. The more casual your game the more it might attract not everyone likes pre FF7 games and the reason can be clear for anyone who played pre FF7 FF games the pacing is much slower the difficulty is much higher the turn based combat is a part of that difficulty , in FF7 you can clearly see a shift in difficulty suddenly you aren't very short on money the entire early game and praying to god you can escape each fight. Same applies for turn based vs real time , turn based can be less forgiving and while FF7 is still turn based its on the easier side of turn based games say to FF1 or 5 , real time is more captivating things unfold on both sides pretty quick and while turn based combat in FF games is well turn based it never feels like it the game is fast and the turns overlap it feels more action and alive compared to other turn based games like CIV3 where only one player is allowed to do actions thus you feel constantly engaged with the enemy. After playing all these wonderful and beautiful and amazing turn based Final Fantasy games I think I would be fine if I get to play a real time combat Final Fantasy akin to diablo 2 fighting or dark souls. (Final Fantasy fans now be like: oh shit he said he is alright with real time combat GET HIM!!!!" [/QUOTE]
