Weekend Debate: What’s the best RPG battle system ever? (Update)

Get involved for a chance to win a PlayStation onesie

UPDATE: Many thanks to all those who took part this week, it was another lively discussion. The winners of the onesies? The following should keep an eye on their PMs over on the official forums: SGTSTEELFACE, law952, RedMustang72, SNAC0B_ and whodareshero. Congratulations!

ORIGINAL POST: So, this week saw a pair of pleasing RPG announcements from Namco Bandai: the impending arrival of Tales of Hearts R on PS Vita, and some tempting special editions for Tales of Xillia 2 on PS3. With that in mind, it seems like as good a time as any for an RPG-themed Weekend Debate.

My question for you this week then: what’s your favourite RPG battle system of all time, and why? Final Fantasy VII? Dragon Quest VIII? Chrono Trigger? Sound off below, and if you’re one of those gamers who just can’t see the appeal of turn-based combat, feel free to get involved too, offering some reasoned arguments for your stance.

The prize this week? I’ve got five more of those rather popular PlayStation onesies to unload. Good luck!
