You are a fucking idiot, user.
Turn-based wrpg
>It's easy to explain in case of Dragon Quest. DQ is Square's conservative RPG franchise and has almost had no drastic changes since it's older entries, while FF is where Square is more experimental and keeps reinventing itself
This doesn't make any sense considering every turn-based FF had the same separation between exploration and combat as DQ has.
It's more atmospheric to be quite honest, I can't really remember many wrpg battle locations, but I remember some from JRPGs
That would improve the overall quality of video games, and that's not allowed. Sure, SE did it with FF12, but that was 13 years ago and they could hide under the "it's an FF game" as a misdirect.
DQXI has two battle modes to choose from. What the user referenced is the default.
>Wrong. DQ11 still has a separate combat screen.
It does not. Yes, the screen fades to black, the game loads the characters in the scenery and combat is menu-based, but battle starts literally in the same spot where you engaged the enemy.
>...and you decided to put pic od DQ11 where the battle starts on that very same spot, not somewhere else.

Somehow the first one is the quality one? I disagree.
Because it's a huge fucking change. Even with FF, Square only switched to it gradually. They first replaced random enemy encounters with enemies that were standing around in FF12 and 13 and then they got rid of the separation altogether with 15. Even before, they had changed the combat system with every new FF entry.
Yeah if only more games were like ff12 lol
