There are thousands of games that don't have it and thousands more will come. Why complain about something that doesn't appeal to you and won't end anytime soon? I think rouge likes are a shit genre and are a plauge making games worse. But you don't see me making threads seething about them.

Wrong

Just don't play them then.

I don't mind it in games like Dragon Quest where it's more of a means to an end and a bit like a survival game. It's less about the combat itself and more about how well you prepared and how many consecutive fights you can survive.

But yes it's usually still too slow and outright sucks in most games.

Here's another trope that drives me nuts:
>95% of the spells/abilities in the game are useless and you just spam aoe spells
There's so many JRPGs where there was a missed opportunity to have at least a LITTLE bit of strategy or variety in the combat--but they're designed in a way where it's always optimal to just spam your strongest aoe spell.

turn based JRPG combat is literally the most inane form of gameplay possible

>>713672491
it's objectively shit combat to select 'attack' over and over, nothing to do with taste

The problem with turn-based is that the moment you try to add any sort of complexity, it makes normal encounters a slog. Turn-based isn't inherently bad. There are a bunch of excellent turn-based games. I mean for fuck's sake, chess exists. But you can't turn every encounter into chess because that would get old incredibly quickly.

Legitimately some of the worst JRPG combat whether it's turn-based or realtime.

>>713672916
You're describing encounter-based, not turn-based. Games like Fire Emblem and Shiren (traditional roguelikes, I'm using Shiren as an example because it's my favorite) figured this out ages ago. Encounter-based design fucking sucks. Make the gameplay ABOUT taking turns intelligently navigating a grid full of obstacles and enemies, and make the combat itself resolve quickly and painlessly, rather than being the huge interrupting borefest it is in most RPGs.
Do this and most of the issues people think they have with turn-based gameplay evaporate instantly.

>>713676509
The thing is, the logic sort of applies to standard turn-based as well. Turn-based does allow for things like mind games and trying to predict the opponent's moves, but this kind of thing is hard to balance. And it can still be pretty obnoxious if you have to do it for every encounter.

For instance, take trading card games. Those can be fun, but fuck if I wanna do that for every single encounter in a JRPG.

kuso thread

>>713664803
Fun is subjective.

>>713676680
I mean, games like Slay the Spire take a different approach: encounter-based gameplay...and that's it. Just a series of tactically demanding encounters. That is the gameplay.
I think that's valid too. What kills me about the traditional (J)RPG is that it tries to do both overworld gameplay AND encounter-based gameplay, and fails at both. No tactics or positioning in the overworld, no strategy or intelligence in the encounters.
Pokefags like to point out that Pokemon is deep despite being a JRPG, but: competitive Pokemon is an unbreaking chain of battles in which you outwit and outplay the opponent, like Slay the Spire. The campaign gameplay kinda sucks cocks and everyone knows it.

I think what people actually hate is shallow JRPG gameplay that fails in both spheres (overworld & encounter), AND wastes an inordinate amount of time on top of it. They suppose this type of design is synonymous with turn-based because it's by far the most common, when it's really just one (bad) way to do it.

>>713677336
Well, that's because when you play an RPG, you want a big world to traverse. That's one of the draws of JRPGs, the feeling of a journey.

>>713677668
Maybe in some ways they're a victim of their aspirations. They're so big. I mean, they can be pretty fun adventure games, whole-package kind of deals. I enjoyed Suikoden I and Pokemon and Earthbound. Mario & Luigi series too. Etrian Odyssey. But I can't say I particularly enjoy fighting Noob CannonFodder McFaggot with my basic Fire spell that I'm casting to conserve energy points after the 100th time.
If someone could capture the adventure and scale of these games and innovate on the combat while keeping it turn-based, they'd really have something special.

>>713678185
Like I said, the natural of standard encounters makes that practically impossible. The longer the journey goes on, the less you want to spend ten minutes on a single standard encounter. This is why in Pokemon, most standard trainers rarely have more than three Pokemon. If every single trainer had a full team of six, it would take too long, even if they're just fodder.

>>713662289 (OP)
Yes, turn based sucks, but most people are too casual to enjoy harder game mechanics like real time strategy or fighting.

Engagement thread

>>713678780
Well yeah, I'd still prefer random encounters be all but done away with. I'm not asking for more, I'm almost asking for less. Substitute it with a more tactically rich, intentional system but still turn-based. I don't have an idea for what that would look like yet.
I just don't care for how pointless the average JRPG encounter feels. Even if you make the gameplay interesting, it still feels like it's wasting your time, because in theory you didn't need to fight that encounter in order to progress and it obviously isn't fun, either.

you're allowed to speak out against a genre because you think the gameplay is excessively simple and repetitive, but the simple truth is enough people enjoy them for them to continue being made
if the existence of turn-based games upsets, you, i apologize, and i wish you well

The solution is really simple, you need to keep the right ratio of battle to everything else.
If you want your battles to be complex and require thinking, you can't throw random encounters at the player every 5 steps. If you want players to rack their brains against a pack of goblins, you should make them fight that pack 1-2 times at most during the playthrough.

Still my favorite JRPG combat of all time, but goddamn the game itself is too easy for it to shine to its full potential.

I got kinda sick of the protagonist though.

Nigger turn based is barely all that popular and not even top 20 in the biggest cancer in gaming

Nah, it's just a way to make inferior people feel superior. By making them think they're "strategizing", they can think they're smart while lacking the skill for games that actually need it.
Oh wowie, little billy, you figured out that the plant can be beaten with fire! Good job!
It's the redditor's genre

there is nothing wrong with turn based combat, the problem is with JRPGs using it as time wasting filler, modern jrpgs even acknowledge this and have an auto-battle feature

I love it bring it back

>>713662364
But adding too many mechanics just prolongs the battle and make them become a slog.

This won't work in a game with exploration, battles will take too long and players will get tired of it.
