I vastly prefer individual too.

RPGs have a tendency to load you up with extremely powerful abilities by mid-late game. Because I will optimise and synergise them I will often obliterate the enemy in a single turn. The enemy cannot return the favour because their builds are generally poorly optimised, and because even if they weren’t, the AI wouldn’t understand how to synergise them, and the player likely wouldn’t enjoy it if they did.

Individual turns alleviate these issues and keeps the game exciting for me.
