JRPGs turn based or real time?

I miss my turn based Final Fantasy. Or I would, if I hadn't bought a few on PS Store and refused to acknowledge any more recent ones. If I could find my copy of FFX I'd be gold.

I actually prefer a fusion between the two. Active Time Battle handles things pretty well, to be honest. It gives greater meaning to an Agility or Speed stat, and it allows for fast-paced AND/OR strategic gameplay, depending on whether you set it to Active or Wait.

Great system, and I hope FF uses it for years to come. It's become the de facto trademark battle system for the series, to be honest.
