yeah, thats the video i saw. The characters looked a little childish as well, but i was ok with that. As long as i am able to easily determine their gender.


ill have to see if i can find a cheap copy of star ocean somewhere then.

Final Fantasy might not be the game for you, lol.

Anyway, I loved XII. The battle system has hidden depth, and some really fantstic possibilities. I put 105 hours in before I beat the final boss, and I still had the final hunt to go and had only reached level 65ish on all my characters.

The weakness of the game was in the lack of character development through the first half, which turned most people off.

 

Either way, I don't think we as a community, should be worried that you might not a FFXIIish battle system. Particularly if most hardcore fans, and most reviewers loved it.

 

1. Battles shouldn't be random

2. Battles shouldn't require loading

3. Battles should require strategy, and have a very deep fighting engine

 

If XIII meets all of these modern standards, then the gameplay will be fine, at least according to all other past Final Fantasy games, which have been amazing and leaders of their genre.


 

FF12 is considered the worst in the series both for combat and character progression by hardcore RPG fans. www.rpgamer.com

And FF hasnt been the leader since 7. Sales wise it's done well but as far as THE Rpg hardcore are concerned there are far better games over last 8 years.

OT: I hope that if it's realtime it works like Star Ocean. Suedo like FF12 was very untheraputic. But then I'm harsh on my RPG's since I own at last count 33.
