Quick times events and dodge and parry Events are the absolute opposite of what im looking for in a turn based rpg. I want it to be calm and where I can put down the controls at any time.

Sounds more like an action rpg with turn based elements to me. Exactly how it looked in the trailer.

Thanks though.

Sounds like how Super Mario RPG did it which was overall pretty excellent.

I haven't played the game but if that's true I'd still consider that well and truly turn based.

It's absolutely turn based. You're trying to stretch it to something it's not. Yes, it has QTEs. That doesn't make it an action RPG. Nothing happens by surprise. You can put your controller down and nothing will happen. Also, as the other person says, you can ignore them if you want; just set the difficulty lower.

Most of the game is just walking around exploring though, and you only enter fights when you walk into an enemy. You always know what's going to happen when. There's almost no surprises.

Why are you getting so defensive/agressive?

I was looking at it and didn't enjoy what I see. The other commenter replied and confirmed my worries, and I said it isnt for me then.

I like my turn based rpgs without action events and some defensive moves I have to time right.

Good for you that you enjoy it that way, it's too much action for my taste in turn based games.

I just hate the idea of dismissing games because of a narrow glance at it (especially if it matches so much of what you say you want). I don't usually like turn based RPGs, but the game seems interesting and like it's made by people with passion, so I gave it a try and it's great. This is the type of game we should be applauding, not generic games that follow formulas. Pirate it and try it before deciding you don't like it because of a relatively minor feature. You can't make a good decision with such little information. As the saying goes, don't just a book by its cover.
