He said pull it off well not that they havent done it. Im inclined to agree with him cant really think of 1 on 1 turn based fight I enjoyed.

Turn based combat is only acceptable in tactical games these days imo.

RPGs with turn based combat are fucking abysmal to play considering the alternatives available in modern gaming.

Suikoden
Suikoden's duelling was a good solution to a very specific problem but was kind of dumb mechanically. Literal RPS mechanics with hints.

Only reason it worked is because you only fight a few duels. They needed something you can learn very quickly, which it totally is. It would be garbage as the main combat system.

Story wise i liked it gameplay wise I didnt. I hate wasting turns to heal. When you have a party you dont sacrifice doing any damage at all just to heal you just dont put out as much damage as you could have.

Spoilers for p5 royal

i made this topic because I just fought Shido and there was a section where the fight became a 1 on 1 duel between Shido and the protag

only thing I could think was this would have been so epic if the combat was real time

the only suikoden with decent duels was 5 and that was mainly because of the visuals.

this is objectively wrong. 1 on 1 fights are the manliest fights and turn based fails at these.

At least can you agree ATB is the worst? It is pretty much the worst part of turn based and the worst part of action combined together.

Anyways, I like turn based because you typically are used to party vs multiple enemies or party vs an enemy, so things feel different when you are put into a situation where it is 1v1. With action games, being alone is a common thing and 1v1 fights are the norm, so it doesn't really cause the situation to feel different.

Isn't that just Pokemon? One of the biggest franchise of all time so they have to be doing something right....

In fairness, that thing doesn't necessarily have to be combat.

In fact, I kinda hated the combat of RBY (which was the only gen I played lol) but the game was still fun because of the collecting aspect.

Action is better at beginning of game combat though.
