Eternal Sonata looked awesome though.

I really think SE just lost it. FFXII was just horrible and now The Last Remnant doesn't look to really have an identity.

FF XII was maybe horrible as a Final Fantasy game, but as a ''game'', I think it's an excellent one! I've spent almost over 200 hours in that game, it was THAT good in my book.

I just don't understand the hate for FF XII. The change in the battle system was much needed.

The hate comes from JRPG gamers like me who are very old school and do not want our pre-FFXI style turn based battle system touched.

This is why I found Lost Odyssey refreshing. I absolutely hated FFXII battle system, I also thought the story was a snooze fest. Oh my, how SE has fallen.

I just hope TLR does not use a FFXII-esque battle system, although that does not seem to be the case. SaGa Team couldn't possibly do that to me... COULD THEY?

 

Oh, I've played all the old school SNES, Genesis and PS1 RPGs, and trust me, I grew tired of the ''press action button, select move/spell/item, wait for the animation to finish'' tactic. At the very least, why can't there be more games like Xenogears (dynamic turn-based battle system) or Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga (turn-based quick-time moves mechanic)?

Lost Odyssey was traditional, yeah, it didn't refresh the old turn-based RPG battle system, but you must not forget that the game was actually challenging from start to finish, not only at the end (where you're mostly underleveled in other easy RPGs that wants you to suddenly spam healing potions and magics for no apparent reason during the final dungeons/battles... =/= fun in my book).
