Old Turn Based Fantasy Strategy Game
You know Turn based strategy games (TBS) sub category of strategy games same like RTS. In this video you can find top fantasy theme based TBS games.
Recently felt the desire to play a traditional turn based RPG, you know where you must control each individual character and make each decision manually as opposed to characters fighting on their own. I realized that somewhere along the line they stopped making AAA turn based RPGs, every single AAA RPG uses auto combat, Final Fantasy, Tales of Zesperia, etc, etc.

It seems all major RPGs have adopted to the auto combat method, you control 1 character while everyone else just fights on their own using preassigned gambits. Is it just me, or is this very sad. Because the only way to allow users to control all characters at once is through turn based combat, and its all but vanished. Who wants to play a game where half the characters just play by themselves.
Takes out all the strategy when character fight and heal automatically. Anyways, does anyone have any good AAA turn based RPG recommendations on a next current gen console. Free single player rpg games for pc.
The only one I was able to find was 'Legend of Heroes Trails of Cold Steel' and that's not exactly AAA quality. @bussinrounds: I miss the old days when AAA console RPGs were still turn based. Even in the beginning of PS3 and XB360 there were good turn based RPGs like Lost Odyssey, Enchanted Arms, Blue Dragon, etc. It all started going downhill when Final Fantasy XIII became auto combat, now every single RPG is auto combat. I curse the day they invented auto combat, it all started from Final Fantasy XII, I curse the day Final Fantasy XII was released.
Now every single Final Fantasy is auto combat. Now I only have Dragon Quest and Persona to look forward to for my turn base RPGs. I don't get the auto combat thing, how much fun is it to watch the AI play for you? It boggles the mind. @kazeswen: Idk, didn't realize you were coming to it entirely from a JRPG angle.
I'm more of a cRPG guy myself, but my friend Maroxad can prob help you out though. I'll try and summon him for you. And I guess I also linked the wrong thread/sub forum for you too.
You can try looking through here though. And again, you should forget about AAA, cause AAA these days is an entire different beast from what it was back then anyways.
The budgets are so outta hand now that they have to market the games to attract a lot more ppl, not just the RPG fans. @bussinrounds: For now I got desperate, so I'm playing 'Legend of Heroes Trails of Cold Steel'.
This game has very dubious production value, literally looks like they just upresed an old PS2 RPG and call it a PS3 RPG. The production value is very shoddy for this game, but since its like the ONLY new turn based RPG in the market, I have no choice. Man, its become a beggars land for us turn based lovers. I understand how AAA budgets are sky rocketing, but why the hell do they gotta make every RPG auto combat? Does making the games auto combat attract more sales?
I guess people like games that play themselves nowadays. It used be that only the Tales games were auto combat, now everything is auto combat. @kazeswen: That's it man.
You wanna go the AAA route for RPGs in this day and age, you jump in the game, follow your quest compass and hit your awesome button. Ratio fixed, job done, time to call it a day. If you're limited to new consoles you definitely shouldn't be too picky when it comes to aesthetics either, especially if you're such a fan of turn based combat like you say you are.
Original Sin and Wasteland 2 were mentioned earlier, but you also have stuff like Invisible Inc., Darkest Dungeon, Banner Saga games and X-Com 2, which will be on the PS4. Hmm.there's no decent Japanese Wizardry like games on or coming to PS4? I know they had one for the PS2 and 3. With the one on the PS2 being better. Tale of the Forsaken Land. @wiouds: Yes, the problem is there is no physical way for a gamer to control all 3-4-5 characters in combat simultaneously without turn based mechanics.
Its not physically possible unless you possess the ability to stop time, which really is what turn based combat really is, its just a way of showing time stopping for you to make your decisions before executing them. I get that they got rid of turn based because they felt it was outdated, but they have not found an alternative method to replace it. Since real life time stoppage is impossible, there is no physical way for us to control every character without resorting to AI (Auto Combat), which really amounts to nothing more than the AI playing the game for you and making the tactical decisions for you, which begs the question why even bother playing the game? Its one of those odd things where people don't like the turn based mechanics, yet have no solution to replace it with anything better.
So instead of having turn based games, now we have games that play for you, making the new Final Fantasy games almost unplayable. @kazeswen: most modern kids (who are the target market for most game companies) do not like to think.
They realised that MOST kids would rather have dramatic fights where they just mindlessly hack down enemies rather than a slow turn based rpgs that require lots of thought and planning. That is why fps games like cod are very famous among kids, they are games that dont require you to think or plan. They just put you into the middle of a battlefield and tell you to fight. No thinking necessary.
Yeah that sounds about right. So, sad cause I skipped a lot of what may have been descent RPGs due to the auto combat system. I played FF XIII, hated it so much, that I skipped FFXIII-2 Lightning Returns and may skip FFXV as well if it uses the same auto combat as FFXIII. @MrYaotubo: Then what is?
Final Fantasy, that's it? Persona is one of the highest budget RPGs in Japan, with its official releases taking ages to develop. If that ain't AAA, then there is no such thing as a AAA JRPG. Which leaves no barometer to split the Legend of Heroes production value with the Dragon Quest production value.

Japanese games outside of Phantom Pain and FF15 lack the budget of Western games. Not sure why that is other than the companies themselves are smaller or they don't want to take the risk of having a project that big fail. While I personally like Persona 3 and 4, it does not have close to the level of production values to Western games of the time period you are comparing (for better or worse). Then there is those spin-off games that I'm not sure why they both making instead of another true Persona game. Who knows if Persona 5 will have more production, as we don't have enough details yet, but I can say from what I have seen it looks very similar to the PS2 games with better graphics.
Rpg's
It seems more like a PS3 game than a PS4 to me however.
