New battle system..............
To the people who have played the demo of FFXII that came with DQVIII or know what the battle system is like I just wanted some opinions about the new battle system. I think this battle system is a good change and think that this FF will be very good.
I completely agree with you! People have been moaning about the changes. Traditionalists you might call them. Even though the tradition of FF is to bring out a entirely new game each time, with some deep rooted similarities yes, but still.
Im looking forward to this game.
i looking forward to it to. the sistem really reminds me of kotor on the x-box but i was wondering how are they going to do the trudisional huge boss at the end of the game i mean really. it just seems like its going to be an etreamly huge problem your not going to be able to fight any huge bosse with a system like that, but thats just my opinion.
How will you not be able to fight a huge boss with the current system?
I haven't played the demo yet, but I have to say that I'm glad they changed the battle system. I'm not saying the old system was awful, but glad they gave us something different
Vaan - "Hey, you!"
Penelo - "Yeah, you! The one reading this sig at this very moment!"
Vaan - "Interested in playing FFXII International Zodiac Job system?"
Ashe - "But you have no knowledge of the Japanese language?"
Fran - "....We could help...."
Balthier - "That's right, Fran! Just click on Crossblades' thread on the very bottom of this signature and it will show you all license grid translations, magicks and tecks locations, and other changes that were made!"
Basch - "Don't forget though. Swap Magic is needed to play this game if you don't own a japanese PS2."
Vaan - "Also remember that if you played the original, you'll have an easier time playing the international version. We hope you enjoy the International Zodiac Job System experience. See ya then!"

omg
I cant believe what I am hearing I hate the new Final Fantasy XII battle system it blows, and it is boring, to dull, I grew up playing FFXII since I was 4 years old. It is like final fantasy XI and it sucks. I cant believe everyone is looking forward to it. Yes it does have a good story and graphics I cant believe what square enix is doing, squaresoft and enix never should have emerged. Im definatly am not buying this game why change such a good game into something it shouldnt be. I hated the demo to it is so frigin boring u site their and run around thats it. Its wrong and am never gonna forgive Square Enix about this.
You've been playing FFXII since you were 4 years old?? Wow, thats a really really amazing absolutely impossible situation. Yes yes I know what you actually meant is 'I have been playing FF since I was 4'Originally Posted by Horton
Actually we dont yet know hardly anything about the story.
I think the word your looking for is 'merged'
FFXII has always been the way its been, maybe you mean 'why such a change to the series'? Well the answer is because it is Final Fantasy and each game brings something new.
Look out its armageddon
I think theres a bit more to that but if you want to exaggerate thats ok with me.....maybe.
P.S If all you do in FFXII is sit around then isnt it the same in all the other FF's?
How have you been playing FFXII since you were four years old? Time travel? Dimensional vortex? Or are you four years old right now, and you have been playing the demo non-stop?
The world may never know.
The gameplay is similar to Knights Of The Republic, (i played that game for like 30 mins. till i went and rented another game) and Kingdom Hearts. I did not like that game because of the gameplay. It's a weird mix of Traditional RPG and KOTR. I didn't like being able only to control one character. And it's too easy to just simply run into the main objective and rush the game. By that I mean, the Random Battles aren't going to be random, since you see the enemy before engaging in battle, so just run past them. It's like a bootleg Zelda. With the ablilty to walk anywhere and engage in battle similarly.
I don't like the future for FFXII. I hope boss battles are'nt going to be to chaotic/messy/annoying, but, we'll see. My chances of getting FFXII went down from 100% to 70%.
It did seem dull and boring ONLY BECUASE, it's a mission based demo. No story, no dialouge, no menu option. Just play for 10-15 min and game over.
I'm sad about FFXII. I'm sure it'll still get a good rating cause everyone's on FF d!c, but we'll see.

Just to note, if the chance was 100% it can't change because that means anything that may happen you will necassarily buy it.
On subject: I haven't played the demo as I want to play the whole game in one but it looks pretty good. I didn't like KH's much (it was OK) so I hope this is more complex then that. I don't know how comparable they are but I hope it's different.
Thanks Jess1 for the awesome sig!!!
Heh, heh, heh

Duh
Ive been playing final fantasy series since I was four not just ffXII, jesh, and If they really wanted to do something diffrent in the battle system make a diffrent game, final fantasy shouldnt change into something else. Some of u guys r nerds lol, typing is so important to u than anything, who cares, and if u dont like ff series why u on the site, well anyway of to play Dragon Quest 8.
FF isn't changing into something else, it's simply evolving, as it has been since the second game was released. If you really want to play the same FF over and over and hate change so much, then download a ROM of FFI and you'll be happy as a clam. Had it not been for the constant evolution present in the series, we wouldn't have had any of the FF's since the first one. That's right, they've all done something to change things up at least a little. Get over it.
Typing is how we communicate online. How you type is the difference between whether or not anyone can actually understand you. Most people don't like poor spelling and grammar because it's difficult to read and understand. And for the record, when you don't type well, people tend to draw one of a few conclusions. Either you're lazy, or you're immature. I'm not saying that's the case for you or for everyone else, but if you can help it, good spelling goes a long way towards people taking you seriously on message boards.
Who said anyone here doesn't like the FF series?
i like the random encounter system but i think its about time it changed and im looking forwards to the new battle system.

Note: everything I say below does not apply to FF XI
I don't mind the non-random battles, i can live without that. My biggest beef with the game is the loss of control of my team. You can say all you want that the FF games have been evolving since the beginning, which I would agree with, but every FF game has always had one thing in common, and that is you have complete control over every member in your party. In the demo, for instance, it is completely possible to tell your character to attack one time and then do nothing else and you will win the battle. Where's the challenge in that? Honestly I don't have a problem with games that use AI controlled teammates but I have always looked to the FF games to provide me with my fix of team-based battles where I control every move. In previous games, it was a bit like each battle was a mini strategy game, you had to choose the the best time to heal, nuke, hang back, melee attack, etc. Now with AI controlled companions, they'll do it all for you; forget thinking and forget strategy. Yes, i could turn off gambit, but the problem there is that the AI still takes over and will just have your companions hack away. There's no notification that a turn is over and they're ready for a new command. Ah well, at least I've got DQ8.
Very solid point. It's fun to play in "Active" battle, since it takes less time, but it's very annoying to change leaders inorder pick your party members and tell them what to do. I don't like the computer doing it for me, feels like cheating. I just sit back, wait till they're 1/2 way dead then i come in. I survive and cure/cura/curaga everyone.
