Let me first say I enjoy action adventure RPGs like Nevewinter Nights and Oblivion. However, at times I feel like I am the only one that misses the good old turn based RPGs like Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy 1-10. It seems like this type of game is another casualty in the bigger and better graphics war.
I am not ashamed to admit I still play Pokemon games be they on DS or Gameboy. Childishness of the story aside they are still among the best TBRPGs around. They take (some) thought to understand game mechanics, and this applies to all TBRPGs, but do not take the rapid reflexes necessary for a action rpg. This allows them to be far more relaxing and allow players to focus more on the storyline than what button they need to press next.
I guess the point of my rant is two-fold. First, am I really the only one that misses this type of game? Secondly, are there any hidden gems (preferably for PC, PSP, DS, or PS3) that I am missing? Something new of this game type that is not over-hyped like the big names.
