LittleNeutrino Veteran Posted May 29, 2010 Veteran Share Posted May 29, 2010 Are there any Proper Turn Based RPG games for PC, such as the Final Fantasy style fighting systems (that sort of turn based) I have been looking around and I have found a few games that came out years ago, However I was not sure if there have been any games like that that have come out in the last few years or not. Im looking for something that is rather recent. Any suggestions. Westnoth is NOT recent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jamesyfx Subscriber² Posted May 29, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted May 29, 2010 I think you've only got The Last Remnant. Note: The 360 one was universally panned, but the PC version got completely opposite reviews. Good reviews, good performance. It's a proper turn-based Japanese RPG game, but the only problem with it is that it kinda plays itself - you basically enter a general attack style and the game will do the rest. You just sit there and wait for your turn. It has a lot in common with Final Fantasy XIII. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudy Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Unfortunately I never really found a good turn based rpg for the pc :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c3ntury Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Hmm.. I think if Square Enix lead the way this genre could be revived.. perhaps with a good PC port for a recent FF game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deletedxyz Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Romance of the Three Kingdoms XI and The Last Remnant as others have suggested. Consoles have a huge library of turn based action games, such as Valkyrie Chronicles and the latest Final Fantasy game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billus Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic or Dragon Age: Origins? These are kinda one of those games where the developers try to hide the turn based under some fancy animations and try and pass it off as an action RPG. [Rant] I don't like turn based games so it ****es me off that I will never complete Knights of the Old Republic due to excessive boredom. Why can't every Star Wars game with Jedi play like Academy or a Star Wars shooter play like Republic Commando??? [/Rant] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn't mention if it has to be single- or multi-player, if you want to try a mutli-player one, it's free-to-play with a cashshop, check out Atlantica Online (nDoors) & Atlantica Online (ijji). There are two hosts, just don't know which host would be the one you'd want if you check out the game. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic or Dragon Age: Origins?

Xilo Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 What was wrong with the The Last Remnant port? Or wasn't it ported from the XBOX360 by Square Enix? All SE PC ports are simply awful. They don't even try to improve anything or make it playable friendly for PC users. Last Remnant runs like **** for what it is and the mouse control is awful. The same is true for FF11. Their PC ports are always CPU bottlenecked because they don't utilize the graphics card properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Last Remnant uses the Unreal (3?) engine and runs really well. FFXI.... well that one was just bad. FFXIV should be better. As for the controls, game pads are the way to go. The interfaces are old and designed for controlers and not mouse + keyboard. I would assume most fans of console style RPGs would have one for their PCs.

UKDarkJedi Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Another vote here for Last Remnant. I had no issues with performance (even on a two year old pc) with everything maxed and the controls were quite well thought IMO. It was very easy to pick up and play although I thought the storyline was a little slow. Dragon Age is about the only other game I can think of recently that's turn based. However as much as I thought I would like it I found the storyline to be awful. Action wise it was ok but the dialogue was yawncity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre S. Veteran Posted June 3, 2010 Veteran Share Posted June 3, 2010 Dragon Age isn't any more turn-based than Baldur's Gate was, that is, all combat appears real-time although each character has a fixed number of attacks/spells per round, and the round is individual. So it's a very behind-the-scenes approach, on the surface it's exactly like any other real-time rpg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleNeutrino Veteran Posted June 6, 2010 Author Veteran Share Posted June 6, 2010 So far there have been a few good ideas, however I have noticed people are forgeting one major thing i am looking for which is the standard Final Fantasy "Style" Fighting System. which is absent in a lot of these games, however they are good ideas, Also I have played Last Remnant and was not impressed.

Sadly, there aren't really any turn-based RPGs on the PC except for all the Square ports. If you want turn based, fire up an emulator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can buy FF7 and 8 for PC, if you're lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
