Anyone mad about this?

I saw how in Kingdom Hearts the enemies can appear on a screen in a battle formation. I thought that would be really cool for FF, basically it can be the same battle system, except your characters can move (hopefully).

the only aspect I don't like is the Gambit system. FF isn't about controlling 1 character while having 2 AI's follow you around. I hope I can slow down the speed or something so I can select each character's action when their ATB is filled.

[SPOILERS]You can choose to not use the Gambit System. But the character will do nothing, they'll just see you die.

Also, when you choose command, the enemy, your party and the ATB will stop until after you confirm your command. [/SPOILERS]

I was a bit dubious when I first heard of it, but everything I have seen since then suggests that it is a change that has brought many new things to FF. Honestly, I've not been this excited about a game for some years now.

You can GOE away. And reserve judgement until you play the thing. xD

Its an Active Dimension Battle (ADB). There are no random encounters, but you select your moves from the menu which you bring up by pressing O I think. There is a wait mode and an active mode. with the wait mode, the enemies freeze as you select your move from a menu. In active mode, they carry on moving as you choose your move. You can move the lead character manually and choose his/her moves exactly. A key part of FFXII is the gambit system which can be turned on and off. If you use gambits, the characters AIs will automatically use some moves based on the situation. E.g. you can get the characters to automatically cast cura on a person who has less than 20% health. Or get a character to automatically cast fire against ice monsters. This saves precious time and allows you to fight faster, and focus on other parts of battling. The U.S demo did not have the gambit system in it. The reviews mostly say that the most enjoyable thing about the battles is the gambit system.

Some reviews can be seen here.

Cant really be mad as its what they said it was going to be for the longest time. It was exactly what id expect it to be. And personally i think its a great new system, battles will be a lot more difficult now.

I can't wait for the new battle system!!!I haven't played XI so it will all be new to me.From what i've read and seen about this game i'm almost sure it will be one of the most controversial FF games ever.
I also liked random battles but change is good.
And as someone else already said the most important thing in a FF game is not the battles but the storyline and characters!

^^But the best bit about the battle system, the gambit system, was not in the demo.
