However, it is also true that real-time combat has become as prevalent if not more than turn-based. Saying turn-based JRPGs are not being made anymore is definitely just plain wrong.
So as I said, if you know more games released since 2015, write them in the comments and I'll add them to this list.ĮDIT March 7, 2020: I've created a wiki page on this same subreddit so it's easier to update and even older games can be added! Yes, games with an ATB system are indeed turn based, so they count here.

With "new", I mean that it has to be an original release or a remake (remake = a game that has been made again from 0) that feels like a new game. IMPORTANT: games in the list have to be new games released between 20 (the last 5 years). I'll start the list with the games that were mentioned on that post and some of my own, and I'll edit this post to add any game that you add in the comments below. Five years seems a reasonable time frame to be called "recent", though the concept of "recent" can vary from person to person.īut this list can have a greater purpose than convincing people it can be a place to discover new games. I want to make a list here on a separate post so everyone can see that there are indeed many recent turn-based JRPGs that aren't tactical RPGs (hence the "standard" on the title of the post). Many games were mentioned in the >200 comments to prove OP that their statement was wrong. Many users (myself included) commented, basically, that "what isn't gone can't return since it's still here", trying to prove the OP that turn based combat has never left this genre. The OP and other users claim that there is "a lack of modern JRPGs with turn based combat", and they would like to see "a resurgence of turn based combat systems". A day ago, a rather controversial post was made on this sub.
