Quick Time Events are NOT Turn Based

[功夫kappa]

This game is misleading.

It's just a Souls Lite game.

The whole point of turn based is not to have to ♥♥♥♥ around with twitch-based timing and reflexes. Dodges, Parries, and QTE are the opposite of turn based, they are the completely distilled essense of reflexes.

The game looks great, it's going to do well, but it's not turn based. And I really wish game devs would stop trying to make each title "everything all at once" ... it's a waste.

Calling it turn based is just a marketing ploy to try and grab a wider sales-base.

Actually its more like lost odyssey not dark souls

People comparing this to JRPGs with timed actions such as Legend of Dragoon, Shadow Hearts and Mario & Luigi series are dumb.
The QTE in those games are pretty forgiving, not DS level.

Is no one going to point out that on their store page it actually says, "...ground-breaking turn-based RPG with unique real-time mechanics..."

The way those indie studios advertise their game always reeks of overselling it.
We know what happened to Sea of Stars, these guys didn't learn anything.

Omg, I just mentioned it on my review. The game QTE reminds me of Legend of the Dragoon's skill QTE. While dodge and parrying can be sucks because it's not really part of turn based game, but skill + QTE is *chef's kiss* perfection. If anything, FF should do something like this instead of weird action-like in remake and rebirth and full action rpg in FFXVI

You gotta play more games man.

QTE in a supposed turn based game? No thanks, removed from wishlist.

Super Mario RPG, The Last Remnant, and, since we're being broad with what a QTE is, Resonance of Fate

How would you call it?
I think calling it action RPG is less accurate.

[lotherius]

I agree. Not turn based. I was hoping for actual turn based, and am quite disappointed.
