Post by Dylan57 »

does anyone know of any RPGs for the 360 that have a turnbased battle system like Final Fantasy?

More or less any made in Japan. Eternal Sonata, Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, etc.

Blue Dragon is FFX style turn based, Lost Odyssey is FF1 style turn based, and Eternal Sonata is an action turn based. Essentially, when your turn comes up you have a certain amount of real-time to do what you want, then it's the next person's turn.

Star Ocean games are definitely far, far, far from a traditional turn based battle system.

Unfortunately, no one's made an ATB RPG for the 360 (as far as I know).

As for Star Ocean, as mentioned, it's not turn based at all. Its battle system is very similar to the Tales battle system, though Tales is a bit more intricate in its usage of combos. But at the gross level they both are the completely active battle systems.
