Square Enix has divulged a few more details about Final Fantasy XII's atypical battle system. The random battles gamers have become accustomed to are indeed gone, replaced by a system quite similar to that of Final Fantasy XI--you can see the enemies on screen ahead of time and battle them in the environment. This means that battles could take place against a singe enemy or against an entire group. For screenshots, follow this link.
