I love turn-based combat. Most of the time. But there are plenty of pain points that all kinds of games with turn-based combat keep running into. Fixing those points doesn't have to mean changing what makes the style great.

Pokemon
Final Fantasy V
Super Mario RPG
Mario and Luigi: Paper Jam
Unlimited SaGa
Persona 5
Shin Megami Tensei V
Bravely Default 2
Grandia 2
Child of Light
Radiant Historia
