Tbh turn based combat is mindnumbing. There are only so many ways you can do the same thing over and over again and not get bored. It's like working in retail.

Every once in awhile I don't mind them. I think a problem all the old school ones tend to have is not limiting MP/Mana/SP etc regeneration therefore you can spam strongest shit turn 1 and move on. So its just using whatever kills all the enemies in one turn, get to a save point and Tent or whatever and keep going and use Ethers/whatever restoration items the game has when needed.

Pic related. Either of my mages would just blast enemies and end the battle in less than 30 seconds, later on Ryudo gets Sky Dragon Slash which was the same tier of "wipe any minor enemy out". Honestly the final stretch of bosses were the same. Just spam the All Enemies magic, Sky Dragon Slash, and sometimes Alhealer for a full party heal.

Grandia's combat system is completely wasted on shitty encounter design but I will never get a game that tries to do those mechanics justice

Yeah for the first like 10 hours it was actually worth trying to Cancel moves, or buff allies. Having someone with the warp shoes be able to teleport Critical to cancel or even counter enemy attacks was cool. Eventually though, yeah it hardly matters. Later on Tenseiken Slash and some of the other starter Cancel moves were so instantaneous that even if an enemy was a single frame from doing a move, if Ryudo was up to bat Tenseiken Slash immediately could cancel it.

MOV/Speed became useless cause no one was running for auto attacks when I just spammed Moves or spells. Definitely a wasted potential type of combat system.

>Tbh turn based combat is mindnumbing.

Repetitive turn based combat, usually in JRPGs and some cRPGs as well, is mind numbing. In those cases even real time or MMORPG style combat can be garbage too, because it's repetive and shallow.

Turn based combat is not only a necessity but totally fine for large scale strategy games. Civ, Endless, Age of Wonders, etc are all fine.
As for small scale games and RPGs, it's fine as long as it's not repetitive. Make combat actually matter. Have a decently complex and deep system and only meaningfull battles with real costs, risk and rewards.

hey you should stop posting your dogshit opinions along with an image of something good in a pointless attempt to make your dogshit opinions look better by association (they don't; they're stil l dogshit)

Frieren is a stealth trans anime. It forces you to self insert as a woman which slowly breaks down your psychological barriers. Before you know it your definition of gender is loosey goosey and you are trooning out.

>do the same thing over and over again
literally every single videogame is like that though?
in fps you just shoot the other guys over and over
in fighting games you just hit the other guy over and over
in racing games you just go lap through the track over and over
in action games you just hit the other guys over and over

The only bad turn based games are 4 niggas in a row and even that genre can sometimes be good
