Thank God I hated those turn based games so Damn repetitive every where you walked some battle spawned that was boring as shyt
A lot of modern Turn based games have removed random encounters and actually address a lot of the issues with older turn based games.
The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky is a great series for folks to get into if you want to experience a traditional JRPG that takes care of those minute issues. Then you can check out the Trails of Cold Steel after that.
Of course Persona and Shin Megami Tensei games are a good example with SMTIV being the latest entry along with SMTIV: Apocalypse.
We got of course FF15 and Ni no Kuni 2 coming up. If anything I would say JRPGs turn base games maybe had a slump last gen but this gen we got a few games coming up that look like fun.
