I'd go with any. Although I'm more of a Dragon Quest fan than I am with Final Fantasy.

Turn based games on something with such beautiful graphics seems so redundant and I can't understand why final fantasy is popular. Real time animations and battles are so much more enthrawling.

I like real time much, much more as it involves more attention. If I am increasing the frameskip I like turn-based as I can really fly by in levels.

What do you mean exactly by real time? in games where you get transported to a differnet screen to fight, i like turn based (like ff7 and such) in games where you dont get transported to a diffenret screen, i like real time (like kingdom hearts)

Personally I would love a action RPG to play like devil may cry or god hand, with an in depth combo / fighting system. But for the most part action rpg's are hack and slash throw aways where you keep pressing x until its dead, not really changing up/ or juggling or anything fun for that matter. I perfer turned based until they really do make a truly in depth action rpg. But yeah, turn based with a timer gauge is my personal prefrence.

I feel both real time and turn based both have advantages and disadvantages in terms of strategy. Kingdom Hearts is much more fast paced with more extemporaneous strategy that builds up as you fight. Final fantasy allows for a slower, more complete strategy. Being able to control what everyone does to the fullest extent is preferable, but Kingdom Hearts lacks nothing in that regard nonetheless.

i like real time better than turn based because even though turn based gives time to think up strategies turn base lets you just hack and slash your way out of problem and some people just like getting to slash their way out of problems.

I'm thinkin I like both. They both work out fairly well as long as they keep you into the game. Now lets take 12 for example... Yeah its real time but you can set up gambits and forget about even playing cause they do it for you. No challenge from what I can see unless it's some alternate crazy boss. KH2 is good but blah man Gather! Thunder! Nuff said. Any turn based game is just like you can hit attack and get through it no problem unless its a fight you actually need to put thought into, then you actually have to change the way you attack. One game I liked that changed it up was Legend of Dragoon. Yeah it was turn based and you didn't have a chance to just sit there, they made you work for your damage. Fantastic I think. That's my rant, I'm done.

I prefer IRT, but I'd like it if more games came with a lock-on option, like in KH or Sly Cooper. Not knowing where the enemies are in Neopets made me want to scream more than once.
