What was FFXI's battle system like?

No idea Would be nice if they brought in something like the Charge Times from FFT and mixed it with Inneffective though

[black orb]

>>> I like them all..

I think FFX's would have been better if instead of using your skills immediately and then tacking on the charge time to your wait time, you actually had to wait in between issuing the command and performing the action. It's too easy to just instantly cast Ultima and then wait to recover. You should have a charge time so that you have to consider if your character can actually survive the time needed to cast Ultima. There could even be auto-abilities or spells like Quicken to reduce the charge time.

I like the turn based system of X and Tactics. You could plan out your moves more effectively.

Active Time Battle.

I like the ATB in FFX-2 a lot, because of the ability to get combos by timing your attacks. It also makes the battles much more fast paced and exciting.

That said, I also enjoyed the Wait system in FFX, because it gave you time to plan your battles strategically, and concentrate on each character's strength. I also loved being able to swap the characters in and out of battle.

So, I wouldn't say either was best, as I like them both for different reasons, but I do think it's good that Square never stick to one battle system and always give us something new. =)

well CTB was good, but all the good FF's had ATB, thats why I chose ATB (4-9)

I have to say that I liked the battle system in X alot.

the only good thing about ten is that...scratch that ten sucked through and through

i like a battle system that didnt allow you to sit and think for ten minutes, you have to act on your feet.

I am happy to hear voices of reason though, games today are a lot easier than they use to be, you people need to get some old school games and see how you fair

ATB that pauses when it reaches one of your character's turn. Heck, it almost makes it CTB =/
