Thread: There is no purpose to pausing....

  1. #1

    Default There is no purpose to pausing....

    Why is there even a pause option in this game...

    When you pause the time still runs and I cant find a single instance where it would be useful... I thought it would at least stop the clock but i left my game paused for a few hours and now i have a really bad time >.<

    When your in the middle of a cutscene and need to go somewhere quickly, that pause button comes in handy.

    Pause comes in extremely handy, for the reasons mentioned. It can be annoying that the clock still runs, but it's not that big of a deal anyway.

    hmm i guess i might need it in cutscenes when i really have to pee but oh well its not like the clock matters... unless... is there something like the Excalibur II from 9 where u need to go fast or idk

    Pause is definatly usefull when you need coffee as I usually do (can't play Final Fantasy without coffee ). But the only thing that really annoyed me about pause on this game was that you couldn't pause during battle. I mean, yeah so they don't attack eachother because its CTB but I just don't like leaving the thing run with everyone still standing there......it just feels wrong. I'm probably just a weirdo

    I feel the same way. Except I have this paranoid feeling that the enemy is going to cheat and attack while I'm not looking.

    wat was really annoying 4 me was that my bro was wanting 2 play MY (yes MY) ps2 and play ff10 (also mine) so he monitored how long i went on the ps2 i left it over night on pause coz i couldn't find a save point and the last time i saved it said 190:00 it sucks
