turn-based jrpgs

[tsr moderation staff]

imo the ATB system in chrono trigger is one of the best rpg combat systems out there. idk, in my opinion standard turn based combat is kind of outdated. i'm okay with it when they put a spin on it, like with pokemon or a well designed atb system, but when its just straight up turn-based combat, it gets really old really fast imo. the combat system was probably the main reason i could never beat DQ9.
i'm not saying that they should be completely gone, but it would be nice if they didn't dominate the jrpg market the way they do.
