I am tired of seeing turn-based combat villainized. "It's boring. It's outdated. It's unengaging." Stop with the hate.

I like them.

I just don't enjoy them as much as I did 30 years ago.

Currently playing through Mother 3 for the first time. There are interesting and even engaging spins on turn based combat.

I just beat the original Breath of Fire within the last 10 minutes. Really basic game, and I thought it lasted too long. Once you get some end-game transformations, the game loses any challenge.

Still, considering this was Capcoms first real RPG, not bad.

It depends on the game for me. Games where status effects don't do dick bug me, or like, bosses are immune to all of it.

Divinity: OS 1 and 2 do it great, which is why they're my favs of the genre.

The 3DS Etrian Odysseys are my favorite in terms of mechanics. Not that the series needs to sink all the dev time into it, but if the combat presentation was less 'oldschool' it could be super successful in the west. I know a lot of people that would probably enjoy how deep and puzzle-y the game is but disregard it at face value because the presentation looks boring to them.

I saw someone here pining for Dragon Quest to move away from turned based combat. Like the one series thats reliably the same should move away from a shrinking genre

It's fine. It's a mechanic, like so many others.

It allows me to strategize long-term rather than trying to just have good reaction speed and think on the fly.

Thank you! The genre has some life in it yet. I love strategizing turns ahead, no better example than Final Fantasy X. You really had to plan out your moves to win some of the tougher battles.

Divinity: Original Sin 2 is one of the GOATs, IMO, and I don't just mean as far as turn-based RPGs go.

Wasteland 3 is also really dope.

what if I tolerate turn-based for an interesting story/setting? Seems like the only turn based games I find boring are because the story is extremely generic and uncompelling (like most Dragon Quest games)

I'd also just say Dragon Quest games have bad turn-based combat.

I like them alright, but I don't really have a preference for the type of combat in rpgs. I play more for the story, and any combat system can be fun imo.

I don't just love them, I prefer them.

Needs to be well-designed, though. I tried playing through Pokemon recently and it was just so slow and boring.

I still enjoy turn based RPG's. I also think random encounters are fine which is an even more unpopular opinion.
