Battles and Maps

[Mordred]

Yeah I know theres a topic like this, but it hink for the game ot be real good, they need to have a more FFVII style battle system, maybe ten crossed with seven, but no sphere grid, the would be good for battles.
Also, i havnt played an RPG that has had a world map in a while, id love to see it back.
Hmmm... I wonder who Cid will be

[Flying Mullet]

Umm, there's nothing unique about Final Fantasy VII's battle system. Final Fantasy VII's battle system has been the standard Final Fantasy battle system for Final Fantasy IV - IX.

Maybe he means that FF7 is different because it has 3 people? But then so did FF8 and FFX, so I dunno. Why not just say use FFX's battle system?

[Del Murder]

He's comparing X and VII, turn based and ATB battles. I'd rather see it go back to VII style too, leave the turn based battles to the Tactics series. But I also liked the ability to switch your characters out mid battle, and it would be cool if they could impliment that in an ATB system.

[Rei]

Switching out characters makes the game easier, so the enemies' difficulty would need to be jacked up, which, sadly, they didn't do in X.

I wouldn't mind a VII-style battle system, but without Limits, and with distinct characters. Active Time Battles amp up the excitement.

[Loony BoB]

I agree with Rei, although I think they need to keep limit breaks. To no have limit breaks would be breaking some kind of tradition.

[Dragonflame]

Obviously, Limit Breaks will have to stay. I would love to see a new type of battle system that involves more movement and skill and less standing still and taking turns hacking at each other, but they would have to find a way to blend it with the old battle systems. I don't really want a system that's completely different.

[DMKA]

I'd prefer another fast-paced battle system like FFX-2's, but more chaotic and with switch-in-battle added.

I would like it fast paced too, challenging enemies should also be there, newer FF enemies are getting boring.
