Cinematic Battle System

[ZeZipster]

It looks like it plays like a movie. Did anyone notice the menu during the fight scene in the trailer? Reminded me of reactions commands in KHII. So how does everyone feel about a more action-ish cinematic RPG? Personally, I don't feel like SquareEnix can go wrong with it after KHII.

It looks absolutely awesome. I just hope it doesn't lose too much the typical FF feel. I don't want it be too much of an action game. I hope it retains the FF RPG style fighting.

Agreed, I never liked KH battle system, I prefer the old style like FF7, FF8, etc etc etc.

People are SO AFRAID of change. Pfft, I never seen a sheet where it specifies what FF should or should not have.

I COMPLETELY love the cinematic fighting in the trailer, looks smurfing awesome

But if they're going to make fighting more like KH then I DEMAND that at least up to 4 players(humaly corolled) can fight fight as well. Man that'd be awesome.

I noticed that, too.

I'm not quite sure how to feel about it. As much as I like to see new things in FF games, I really like the battle system they had for X. I'd like to see a similar system implemented into XIII. Or at least give players the option to use it.

I agree with you, FFX had the best battle system around, you could switch characters instantly, the "turn" thingy was really cool, and everything had a great flow to it.

But we'll see, my idea (multiplayer) I think deserves a second look:mog:

Hmm. Final Fantasy has never struck me as having multiplayer potential. However, seeing as how Final Fantasy XIII Versus is an action oriented game, I could see multiplayer sneaking it's way into that one. As for a traditional RPG? Not too good of an idea to me.

Yeah, but when I meant multiplayer I didn't mean it like (versus EACH OTHER) I meant, co-op style. up to 4 people can fight alongside you , just an option kind of thing. But I do agree, FFX's battle system should be brought back.

Ah let's see...

The multiplayer sounds good, actually, you could probably execute combos like in ff tactics, assign roles to the other guys playing, etcetera. (like in tales of symphonia)

And, yeah, FFX's battle system was very well planned. I liked it myself.. The only flaw X-2 had in its battle system was the real time-ness, I had only milliseconds to decide what skill to use. I hope nothing like that happens in XIII, but knowing Square..

Actually, alot of the older FFs had an option like that.

Anyway, I'm not very surprised at all at what they do with the battle system. They'd wanted to do a real-time game back in FFX, and they made one like that with FFXII, so it's not surprise anymore. That doesn't mean that I'm not utterly dissapointed, I'm just not surprised.

If this was aimed at me, I'm not afraid of change, I just simply enjoy the old battle style compared to something "new". I've tried KH, and I did not like it, so if this turns into a KH type fighting game, I will not like it, battle wise atleast, its quite simple.

I haven't like any of the kingdom hearts games. For me FFX-2 had the best battle system. I loved the speed.

I couldn't agree more. If that game had any redeeming quality (I'm one of the few that actually liked the game), it was it's superior battle system.

Where is this trailer everyone is watching?

You sound very contradicting. And I don't know where you're looking, but there are MILLIONS of FFX-2 fans, they're just overshadowed by FFVII fanboys who drool over Sephiroth and Clould's romance:mog:

And yes FFX-2's battle system could work in XIII.

While im not too keen on it myself, it is being made by the genius behind FFVI, VII, VIII and X, So im not too worried, its being made by the people who gave FF its FF feel we all know and love, so I wouldnt worry too much.
