Agreed. I didn't play much of the story because I just couldn't get into that battle system, it was really bad. Much much worse than any other Final Fantasy battle system.

How? It was basically exactly like the normal system but they moved around more...am I missing something? The difference was merely cosmetic

The FF XII system was nothing like the others. For one thing you only controlled 1 character and it was like an MMO battle system, obviously taken from FF XI. It was just horrible. FF XIII system was very similar to the good FF battle systems, it was just faster and still only 1 character. IMO FF XIIs battle system is the worst of any rpg ever.

It honestly reminds me more of the tales of series, whose battle system is very similar, and I do believe came out before ff11.

Also, you could control all the characters, you just switched to them using the r and l buttons.
And, I also liked the gambit system, which allowed my characters to use items and moves that I'd rather not be scrolling around for during a battle. Personally, I enjoyed not having to click attack over and over and over. maybe that's just me though.

Also, in 13, you could decide whether you wanted your teammates to attack on their own or by your input, same as 12. Have you played these games?
