You mean FF2 for NES or FF2 for the SNES?

FF2 for GBA.

as much as i love ff8, and think it's the best FF, the best battle system goes to FF XIII, although if we swap GF's for eidolons it would be even better
so my ideal FF would be FF8 (story+layout-overworld map etc +GF's) + FF XIII (Graphics and battle system)



it's the future of handheld

ummm..Did you qoute the wrong person? I have played FF8 many times and your not telling me anything I dont already know.

No, I was referring to your implication that junctioning at ATB were the major components in VIII's gameplay, when imo that's simply not the case. Sure they are casual components, but they are the finite parts of an infinite system. Limit break minigames are the major and most compelling components, and ATB appears, but really takes a backseat to the "game within the game." Failure to even mention the main component of gameplay when criticizing VIII's batttle system usually means that said person misunderstood said battle system.

I can tell dtewi, though critical, understood the battle system, because he instantly referenced limit breaks when goaded, which most core VIII gamers would do.

Implying that VIII's battle system is no different, or even vaguely similar to almost any other JRPG I've ever played, is imo, a gross miscalculation, and made me believe that you hadn't actually delved into the battle system as much as you could have.

However, if you have, then perhaps you subscribe to a different philosophy concerning the actual battles.


Zen what are you taking about? I haven't said anything about the battle system the whole thread, Just that FF8's battle system not called junction its ATB. Ive played FF8 3 times in my life i know every trick of the trade in the game. Im not denying the importance and levels of deepness in the the Junction...just the battle system is not called Junction... thats it stop twisting my words

Im still shocked everytime somebody says FFXlll is best at something other than graphics.

I wouldn't go that far, FFXlll was a good game, but there is at least 1 other FF thats does a better job the Xlll rather its story, character, gameplay you name it

Don't get me wrong i still like FF XIII:):) But to me FF XIII was lacking somewhat in story, the lineraity was overblown(by certain reviewer's) admitedly and when you get to grand pulse it's like a whole different FF you are playing on:):)

To be honest each FF has their own advantages and disadvantages, but I do know what I am going on about as I haver done 200hrs nearly on FF XIII now and I'm so close to that platinum.

I personally like Final Fantasy VII's battle system more than any other.

But that's just me.
