The Retro Encounter panel's original plan was to record a single episode about battle systems in RPGs, but there ended up being so much to discuss that we're splitting it into two episodes. Today we focused on turn-based combat, from the earliest Japanese RPGs through grid-based systems to whatever the hell Final Fantasy XII is. So check the attacks queue, wait your turn, and strike that episode link!
