Why is there even a pause option in this game...
When you pause the time still runs and I cant find a single instance where it would be useful... I thought it would at least stop the clock but i left my game paused for a few hours and now i have a really bad time >.<
When your in the middle of a cutscene and need to go somewhere quickly, that pause button comes in handy.
or in the middle of a blitzball game.
lol i find it funny that you think id actually play blitzball...
the one time im forced to is enough for me ~,^
Really? I love blitzball...Quote:

hmm i guess i might need it in cutscenes when i really have to pee but oh well its not like the clock matters... unless... is there something like the Excalibur II from 9 where u need to go fast or idk
No.Quote:

I mean, yeah so they don't attack eachother because its CTB but I just don't like leaving the thing run with everyone still standing there......it just feels wrong. I'm probably just a weirdo ;)
I feel the same way. Except I have this paranoid feeling that the enemy is going to cheat and attack while I'm not looking. :shifty:
I have the paranoid feeling that my nephews will play with the controller int he monster arena and get me killed.
it sucks doesn't it...Quote:

It's not so bad...yeah i have that wierd feeling when I leave it seymore's gonna kill me since most of the ffs are ATB but i'm glad i don't have to rush my party to attack before the enemy does.
what would be amuseing is if this thread was made in the FFX-2 forum.
eeesh. now there's where pause can come in handy! as far as ATB goes, that was the best.
i prefer the turn based in this game... requires more thinking less char developing imo
I love turn based battles as I am definitely not a Mortal Combat whiz kid. My clumsy fingers suffered enough in the chocobo races in FFX!Quote:

You can pretty much spend the whole game with Gunner's "Trigger Happy" and catnip w/o any different strategy. But before you get catnip, or if you want more variety to your battles you have to "evolve" your strategies. Every dressphere helps you complete the game in her own way. For example, Songstress lets you survive until chapter 3 then it gets too weak. Dark Mage rules in most places but it is too weak for the Bevelle Cloister. Berserker is terrible for catching Chocobos as it includes auto-counter attack, but it is pretty strong otherwise... in the farplane, when you fight dark element and etc you need gunner and white mage but in other battles you'll need something else as Gunner has low HP and only one good attack.
That's what I like about FFX2 battles. They are fast and require strategy and you have to change it depending on the enemy you face, it's not just a question of picking one move and sticking with it the entire game (Bo-ring!)
yeah ffx-2 was fun except for the fact all the male characters were gay and all of the female ones made random outbursts like "Awww... Poopie!"
