Legend of Legaia: Arts system

I thought the hex grid system in Wild Arms 4 and 5 was pretty interesting.

From all of the RPGs I played (which is not a lot, I have to admit), I prefer the whole Mario & Luigi series and FFVII's battle system.

Mother 3.
Turn based battle system with a music based combo system, and don't forget your roller lifebar!

Re: Favorite battle system in an RPG?

favorite - Legend of Dragoon
Least Favorite - FF XIII (it's like watching a few thousand pointless cutscenes interrupting your game! D

Paper Mario made it feel like you were there hitting the enemy with your hammer or curb stomping them. I also love the classic turn based.

Turn Based for me.


But I did love Board Based like Shining Force on the Sega Genesis.

Oh my nostalgia (talking about Shining Force)

Any Turn Base system like FF7/8/9/10 etc. xD

personally I think in turn based combat styles you have to prepare more, and if you can do math, you can strategically plan out your plan of attack to know when and who will be hit in your party etc.

...you can predetermine RNG? Impressive.

In Final Fantasy 4, 6 and 12 it isn't to hard at all.

In Final Fantasy 12, I've gone as far as manipulating treasure chests with RNG.

The disgaea series blew me away with its battle system.

I think Guild Wars has the most lucrative and complex Action RPG combat system still. For PvP anyway. Guild Wars 2 might overtake it. It's a big step forward but it could still not be executed as well.

I liked the additions in Legend of Dragoon. It was a way to involve technical skill into a turn based RPG.

How does the RNG work in those games?
