I enjoy both turn-based and action combat. I like how turn-based combat allows for some strategies without being overly complex like in most TRPG.

I was a big fan of Final Fantasy 7 OG, but I can't get into FF7 remake mainly because of the hybrid combat. I would rather have it turn-based like in the original.

Turn-based games I like:
Final Fantasy 5,6,7,9,10. Dragon Quest series, Earthbound, Chrono Trigger, Super Mario RPG

Action-based RPG I like:
Fallout 3, Mass Effect, Skyrim

This. Turn-based is justified if and only if it's complex enough to be unreasonable to do in real-time and the design wants to reward the player for taking time to think.

Or turnbased should be tactical, not just complicated.
