Final Fantasy XII at E3

[weilder of the dragon]

thanks.
i asked that because there is no extra gauge that shows anything like that
and there wasn't anything like that in fft

Okay, the battle system also sounds like Star Ocean, which I tried.

I like that it's more realistic, battlewise and fieldwise.

Well, let's not say that FFIX sucks. I tended to get lost more in FFXI, which I got tired of. After a battle, fighting caused me to get disorientated. In FFIX, it was harder to get lost. In FFXI, I was pretty bored just watching my character fight and not being able to do other stuff. I hope FFXII has better gameplay in battle than FFXI and it's as good as VII or IV.

From what he's said the battle system's a lot better than FFXI.

[DMKA]

MMORPG battle system...like Diablo?




That sucks

[Necronopticous]

Diablo is not an MMORPG... More like an MOG... And the battle system is NOTHING like Diablo.

[Wuggly Blight]

How much traditiom, if any, is left, and how true is it to a basic rpg or is it expanding into other areas?

[Necronopticous]

It's definately expanding, growing, changing, but nothing is going to change the most important tradition of the series being amazing games. A lot has changed this time around but it still feels like a Final Fantasy, even Hironobu Sakaguchi said so.

nothing is going to change the most important tradition of the series being amazing games. . . . it still feels like a Final Fantasy.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

In other words that mean the complete opposite of what he actually said, yes.

[Weimar Pluto Knight VII]

Huh, did I misquote somebody? I didn't mean to.

Did you mean Appless? Well, I hope it's better. From what he said, it's going to be derivative of FFXI's battle system. Hopefully that comes with improvement.

No, DMKA just deleted his post such that mine, which was a response to it, no longer makes sense.

[Kreminator]

Well the battle system sounds like they took it strait out of Star Wars: Knights of Old Republic and added some fancy 2005 features. In fact, it sounds to me like Square could just throw some lightsabers in there and change "thundaga" to "force lightning" and we have ourselves SW: KOTOR 3.
