Poll: Turn-based, or real time battles (RPG\'s)

Well, what say you?

Me, I prefer Turn-based:)

I prefer turn based, since I don\'t like games having some kind of countdown, I want to take time toplan a strategie properly, I do admit however that it sometimes is a bit boring, since it\'s a lot slower

one word, StarCraft. Although, the only turn-based game I liked to watch as well as play is Shinning Force 2, the first one sucked crap, but the second....WOW, KIWI FOREVER!

Action. And I hate random battles too. I want to be immersed in a game world, not removed from it.

C\'mon people!! It\'s nearly 50-50 here.

Vote!!!!!

(Pleased to see no one opted for choice 3 yet:))

Turn based all the freaking way....i hate random battles also.

hehe I chose number 3 coz I hate rpgs  :P
but if i had to choose, i\'d go for real-time any day
it\'s much more fun coz it demands skill, reaction, quick thinking and decisiveness...

Turn based, but i never tried action so i don\'t know but i kinda agree with some of you here, i prefer the chrono cross style: turn based but no random battle!

I see nothing wrong with random battles, though every game mag hates that system. The only RPG I have played which didn\'t have random battles, Grandia, was nice but I hated being chased by those monsters if I didn\'t wanna fight them. And it looked pretty stupid too.
When it comes to turnbased or realtime, I prefer the former. Some people might think it\'s dumb just to stand in line waiting for orders, but I think it\'s organized. If I want the hassle of a real time battle, I buy a game of another genre instead of an RPG. Star Ocean 2\'s system was pretty fun though, I usually chose Rena and just ran around the arena healing when necessary. But if I had to choose, I\'d choose turn based. And not just because it\'s the system in my favorite RPGseries, Final Fantasy.

3 Words...

PHANTASY STAR ONLINE!!!!!!!!

Im a fan of FF. Along with several other Genres. Latly I\'ve been playing real-time stategy games and Realtime Action along with the normal Realtime RPG. So I\'d have to pick real time. Turn based just dosn\'t seem real.

Realtime battles in the mold of Vagrant Story for an RPG is cool, and The Summoner

but Realtime battles can be just as redundant as Turnbased.

Creativity with either system could provide quality entertainment,


It depends I don\'t hate either or but I was hoping FF would get a little more creative with there battle system

i go both ways but i can\'t vote twice so i went to my fav RPG of all time

Secret of Mana and remembered how i loved that format and the game -

so i voted for Realtime

hehe I chose number 3 coz I hate rpgs :P
but if i had to choose, i\'d go for real-time any day
it\'s much more fun coz it demands skill, reaction, quick thinking and decisiveness...

My thoughts exactly.

sorry , im too used to turn based (ie the FF series, Chrono Cross, etc). Although it does get rather annoying having to fight countless random battles while you\'re just trying to get somewhere else, its a good chance to level up and what not. Anyways Turn based for me.
