What do you all think about it?

On one hand it's like persona 3's battle system in terms of only controlling only 1 character and giving everyone else strategies (while in turned based).

on the other, it's like WKC without action chips...

I like it... so far.

Not the biggest fan of it but it is decent. Too action oriented for me. I prefer turn based combat systems..Lost Odyssey had perfect one and FFX great too. I enjoy it in JRPG's when you have time to think about your moves. action based systems are too chaotic.

It's exactly what I thought it would be. It's a perfect evolution of FFX-2. Coincidentally, both games have the same battle director.

Great its time for this change in FF's battle system.

First 2 hours = BORING.

After is fun as hell :]

Once you get Paradigms it's one of the most refreshing battle systems I've played in years

i wish u get more control of what skills tehy could use, like the gambit system

I Love FFXIII Battle System it is just like FFX-2 but with more enforces on timing and fast combat with strategic use of the Optima Change to to prevent the leader from dieing and to fill break gauge as fast as possible in order to rack up high scores like in a Old School Arcade Game.

Anything other than the Gambit system. Yuck!

After I got paradigms it became the best FF battle system ever!
