Do you think we will ever see the return of Turn based RPG's?

I am talking about the combat during the PSX era, even FF is getting faster combat in each new title. What do you think?

The PC still gets a fair share.tagyhag

There are still lots of them. They probably will never be as popular as they once were though.

Nope. Never. Gone. None are even, like, in production or anything. NAPK1NS

Actually there are more around than you might think, I'm just playing Atelier Rorona ATM ^^ Anyway, they might never be as popular as they were again :/

Look out for Age of Decadence, Dead State and Jagged Alliance 3 in the future. Right now you can try King's Bounty, Ultima V: Lazarus (requires Dungeon Seige) and Prelude to Darkness amongst others. Despite the lack of discussion around these parts (not a very PC oriented crowd), there's many great cRPG's around thanks to the indie and modding scene.

I hope not. JRPGs ruind that system for me. Every JRPG since the genre's creation has been a prettier clone of Ultima III.

Heroes Of Might and Magic 3 + 4 and the King's Bounty games.

I hope so. WRPGs have never appealed to tme the way turn-based RPGs do. I even felt depressed last night thinking if games like Mass Effect and Fallout were the future for RPGs.Mr_Cumberdale

The future of mainstream RPG's, there's still plenty of traditional turn-based RPG's around.

I recommend Eschalon: Book I (2007) and Eschalon: Book II (2010):

I loved SSI's Goldbox series...that's where it was at! It's not flashy enough for today's gamers though.

I LOVE YOU!

seriously knowing about those games has me lost for words :)

what was ff13 if not turn based.

you take a turn they take a turn, you take a turn they take a turn. just because if you don't go and they take another turn does not mean it is not turn based.

A distinction should also be made between the DnD style turnbased combat and the JRPG oneblue_hazy_basic

i am praying for the oldschool turn based jrpgs to come back. i think the psx was the best era of jrpgs. i cant really see wrpg returning to turn based but i have hopes for great jrpg .i think when persona 5 comes to the consoles and gets high ratings even though it will be turn based(probably) will make more developers realize that turn based is good for rpgs.

Ok. That game looks fun...Going to go try the demo.

JRPGs are dead and WRPGs moved passed this archaic battle system somewhere in the mid 90's.

I absolutely loath turn-based JRPGs

Those are my favorite type of RPGs.

Too bad Book one has such slow transportation and little NPCs to talk to.

dude! Golden Sun is coming!

there are still a few good ones out there, especially on the handhelds. But a complete return of the genre to consoles would be amazing.

The deserve to die as a whole.(in turms of #, not completly)

Realtime and hybrid are where its at.

I'm currently working my way through Armourd Princess : Crossworlds...the combat is turn based and it is a fantastic game.
