I loved the fast paced battles of FFXII the real time batle system is awesome I never bothered with the gambit system much so I loved how hands on you could get with the battles if you really wanted too. It made some of the later hunts really epic. But lately I restarted & finished FFVIII & just restarted FFVII & learned to love the old turn based system all over again. I can honestly say I love both systems equally!
