I try but I just can't get into Turn-base RPGs.

[Pax]

Every once in a while I get the urge to play some kind of Turn-based RPG (like Earthbound or something) but once I boot it up I can only play it for like 1 hour tops till I get bored and then I never really go back. Like I want to get into these kind of games just I can never get into them. I like the idea of them but I can never get into them once I start playing. I just need to know how to get into Turn-based RPGs.

You can't really control what is fun to you. Maybe you just don't like them.

I used to be that way about open world games. When the idea got popular, I was always so excited to play them, and I always think I'm going to enjoy them because they sound awesome, but for some reason I can't explain, I always get reeeally bored playing open world RPGs, like Elder Scrolls.

Maybe try playing some turn-based games with more unique mechanics. Try Persona 5, any of the Mario and Luigi games, or Chrono Trigger.

Play D:DOS2 or play some of the RTwP

OP, try this old gem...

It's a real time, turn based dungeon crawler (it's free)

There's also real time, turn based RPG games with pause like Icewind Dale / Baldurs Gate.

Real time turn based game use turn based mechanics for what actions you can do in a set time while the game proceeds in real time.

I grew up playing old SSI turn based wargames, I guess what with the fast paced instant gratification offered these days in video games the subtle nuance of patience has been lost.

The only turn based game I've ever really enjoyed is pokemon mystery dungeon.

That game was hella fun.

Turn based RPGs in general or jrpgs like earthbound and final fantasy?

Cus I agree on jrpgs, but I absolutely love turn based western RPGs like pillars of eternity 2 or divinity original sin. Or fallout 1 and 2. Arcanum. Those are good turn based RPGs imo, but completely different than games like earthbound or final fantasy

You need much more than one hour to get into those, I think.
I'm not sure how it works, but you should arrive at some point, in which you invested so much time, it starts to grow on you.
But I'm not sure how you can accomplish this, if it just doesn't work for you.

As long as you gave it a go. Don't force yourself to like something that you don't - it's not healthy.

you should play one where the story grips you strongly enough so that the slow nature of turn based gameplay wont bother you
