Forums - Gaming - Toshiro Tsuchida leaves Square-Enix

hikaruchan on 05 March 2011

That sad that he Creator of Front Mission and a awesome Final Fantasy Battle director in General has left Square-Enix I hope he will find a place at another grate developer soon.


On of the saddest things about this is it is almost certain there will be no more true Front Mission Games from Square-Enix.

Battle director for XIII?  Good thing he left that was a terrible system.  Kinda wish they realized ATB was and still is the best system for JRPGs.

Compared to FF XIII's and X's battle systems, ATB is shite. In fact, it's shite compared to MOST systems.


But FFX's system is old, really old... and it's not the best but it is one of the better systems out there. XIII doesn't even have the ability to directly control your team and it's basically the bastardized version of ATB.

I loved the paradigm shifts, though. It felt far more fun and far more balanced than any ATB. FFX? I replayed it a few weeks ago, the system is even better than I remember it. Old? I guess you have a point there, but it's still awesome.

Play a Star Ocean game, Maxwell :D

My gripes were never about FFX's battle system since that was the best part of FFX.  On XIII though the battle system didn't even save it.  It uses the ATB like bar but uses it to do various attacks at no real cost to you... and it doesn't take as nearly as much planning as the old systems, so I end up getting rather bored and then annoyed when my team doesn't do exactly what I want.
