I don't know how I didn't notice this. One of my favorite battle systems(and game) ever.

ATB? CTB? TB? Realtime?

Legend of Mana's. Simply because there was infinite combinations of weapon, and techniques you could use. It always was fun to use bows and spears in that game, too.
Mana games just take the cake for best Battle System, in my opinion.

Oh yeah, Persona's Battle system too, is really good. I liked the interchangeable skills and attacks you could use just by switching out a persona.

Yeah I didn't mention it in my original post but I agree. The battle system itself is great but the only thing that kind of annoys me is a lot of the enemy's weaknesses don't make any sense.

The one in Mario and Luigi : Superstar Saga

NixXSkate · 07-20-2011, 12:14 AM

timed combos in Legend of Dragoon made the necessary tedious boring random encounters, actually quite fun

Valance · 07-20-2011, 12:17 AM

Definitely agree that the Paper Mario games had the most enjoyable system. Timed hits made the battles much more enjoyable.

Honorable mentions go to Wild Arms (characters were able to use new abilities as the battle progressed) and Pokemon (the limitations that it places on the player for development).

My personal favourite is the timed defense system in mario & luigi superstar saga. Enemies would come at you in 1 of X pre-defined paths and timings, and you'd press the jump button to jump over them to dodge or counter-attack - for each area, you'd have to learn the 'tells' and timings of each enemy, but once you know them you feel like a boss. They get harder and harder as the game goes on, making it very skill based - I once picked up the game in the last area just to play with it, and I couldn't survive at all, I was so out of practice, haha.

One of my favourite attacks is in Mario & Luigi, Bowser's Inside Story; there's an enemy that shoots bullets at you, and as they get closer they turn invisible! Pure timing, pure skill.

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!

Raven7270 · 07-23-2011, 10:35 AM

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

**Winrar** · 07-23-2011, 02:21 PM

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.

**Xx DarkLink xX** · 07-23-2011, 05:53 PM

The Tales series. <3

**MrMagic5239** · 07-23-2011, 06:11 PM

Turn Based for me.

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

Oh my nostalgia (talking about Shining Force)

**krunkykai22** · 07-23-2011, 08:15 PM

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

Kinx · 07-23-2011, 08:25 PM

tales of series (namely TotA) and FFXIII

**MrMagic5239** · 07-23-2011, 08:32 PM

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.
