learning abilities

[lady yunalesca]

does anyone have any idea how you will learn / obtain abilities in this installment???? I loved the sphere grid, the materia and didnt mind junctioning (although drawing was a pain and a bit boring)

I hope they stick to an AP/EXP

Pls, no more sphere grid I Want "everyone" with unique abilities or at least like that everyone couldn't cast spells. :\

Well I did find drawing a little boring but liked the junctioning where as I didn't like the Sphere Grid really, I hope they make learning abilities like the FFIX system.

Junctioning!!! It would be cool if it was similer to FFVIII.

What was the FFXI system like?

I have a feeling they will be using that system

They will probobly go back to the final fantasy 7, 8, and 9 days. I mean, I dunno just a fealing. But I like the final fantasy 10 system better then them all though. I mean, you can decide which abilities that they can learn with spheres. But I also like 10-2's system, because it is just like that, but with it differently. Its more easy than collecting all those spheres just to level.

What was the FFXI system like?

hit monsters
raise weapon proficiency
get new weapon skill
buy magic

i hope on this its a bit more like FF4 or FF9.

The demo seemed to lack physical skills and support abilities and such (Like MP attack, mad rush, etc). It's kind of boring just using attack and spells, so I hope for some cool skills that will spice things up a little.

I liked the sphere grid! I hated junctioning I found it annoying if it hadnt been for junctioning 8 wouldve been my fave of the games no contest

[lady yunalesca]

it should be time consuming and require patience like 7 and 10!!!! i just hope they dont change too much!!!

[Markus. D]

hit monsters
raise weapon proficiency
get new weapon skill
buy magic

yeah, sorta like FFXI


This would make sense for its battle system type.

it was just a demo so the characters probly didnt even have the abilities that they would have in the normal game. there definetly will be cool looking abilities though.

:mog: For those expecting this game to have character based abilities i dont think you shud hold you breath.there are several reasons for this.
1. In the demo everyone cud use magic and summon(7 or 8 like system)
2. Even in games with unique characters abilities, each character can still be lumped into one one the main classes.(ff9:zidane+amarant= theif, dagger=whitemage/summoner, vivi=too obvious, eiko=summoner, quina=Bluemage, freya=dragoon, steiner=warrior.) what class wud use green magic?:mog:

according to this article, they are having set abilities and are using a spere grid type system called the license board. The name sounds weird.
