Changing from turn based to "this"

[BadMonkey]

I would give the 1st game a 10/10. The fact it changed from turn based 100% ruined, for me personally, the entire game. I closed the game down mid 1st fight. I was going to buy the game outright to support the developers, glad I didn't.

No idea what were you smoking but if you ever played SO series, the game has never been turn based.

there was a turn based option. It was one of the first options in the new game selection. Of course nobody in their right mind would use it in a game that was designed for action

If you're talking about the targeting/timing options in SO2, It didn't really make the game turn based, just altered how target selection worked. But anything besides automatic target selection just played really wonkily, so it's understandable that they dropped those options in the remake.

yeah sadly i cant think of a single anime style game where going from turn based to active combat was a improvement, except final fantasy maybe after their 5th attempt

Pretty much all of Masaki norimotos games are based on action over turn based. And his games have world renowned success. Even Valkyrie profile is merge of the two but clearly leaning towards action

No, I had never played SO before. As I said, I really enjoyed the first one and this is disappointing. My opinion only. Now I have "played" 2 of their games and I prefer the the 1st one.

Hardly any games anymore use purely turn-based systems and, like everyone else said, this series has always used real time battles.

Try Chained Echoes, or Sea of Stars, or DQ11, or something else I guess.

OP is trolling right?

SO is literally an unofficial Tales of sequel and both have real time action combat.

How am I trolling? Sea of Stars was literally turn based. Literally whatever RTS vs TB is a small semantic I am not going to argue over. You literally take turns with your character and it's atack. OH NO! There is a few seconds where you have to react quickly and THEN IT IS YOUR TURN AGAIN.

My point is, and always will remain, I do not like how the new game came out. I really don't care if you want to argue about RTS v TB because that is NOT what I was posting about.

...that link goes straight to the tag page on Steam. If you're in Steam, it'll take you to the Store without even opening a browser.

Not a real bright bulb this one, somehow confused by a hyperlink in 2023.

My guy Star Ocean was not turn based. It was real time, except you could not move your characters. They moved automatically to the target when you confirmed actions. You can still play Star Ocean Second Story literally the same way as the first... just DONT MOVE... select party memebers, confirm actions, and let them move for you. If you move in a position you don't like just select a different party member and let AI take over. Well that was easy, now you can buy it and support them.

The franchise wasn't turn based in the first place. This thread's argument over a change that didn't happen is baseless.

[Wirewing]

You outing yourself. You can just say you wish it was turn based instead of lying about a supposed 'change' to the franchise. You think this game is so old that the people who played it on original platforms are dead or something? hahahahah
