I played too little of FFXII to judge. The problem is you're making a judgement on Xenoblade and you haven't played it, while bigtakilla and Soriku made it clear that they were not enough like FFXII in such a way that it made Xenoblade actually very fun to play.

So the problem is that you haven't played it and are saying it's a FFXII rip-off or clone or whatever, and your opinion is ineffective on the people who've actually played both.

Maybe not a straight up rip off but I can guarantee you that the combat in both games are extremely similar and that's not something you have to play to figure out. 

Saying the battle system of Xenoblade is a FF XII rip off is like saying the battle system of Final Fantasy XV is a Tales Of rip off. In fact, the battle system of XV and Tales of seem to be WAY more similar than Xenoblade and XII.

I'll get both eventually when i get a PS4 to play FFXV and KHIII, but i if i only could pick one it will be Xenoblade Chronicles X, because i love all the Xeno series more than any other jrpg series, but hey that's just me :p

To each their own.
I'm personally getting Xenoblade Chronicles X because Monolith Soft proved their great game making abilities countless of times, and Xenoblade was exceptional, While SE have been churning out countless of disappointing Final Fantasy games, so I'm not getting FFXV unless it proves to be a lot better than the predecessors.

It isn't even a good rip off either. FFXIIs battle system, while still very poor, was much better than Xenoblades.

What am I reading...

So, this thread ended up being exactly what tbone was complaining about...

Come on guys, feel for the poor guy.

Bit hard to feel sorry for the guy when this outcome was kind of predictable...


i literally wanted everybody to acknowledge both games but oh well :-/ (well at least half the thread does!!!)

Regardless of reviews or word of mouth, here is what I'm planning

1. Monoloft Soft has earned my respect and will be getting my money week 1.
2. Square Enix has lost my trust and I will be buying FF15 in the bargain bin some day. Or maybe just watching someone Let's Play.

FF games used to be my favorite games too. Now they are super super far down the list of RPG's I look forward too.

Oh right ... I heard a few people on the internet described it's battle systen as "watered down" compared to FF XII. Is that a better decription or what ?

No gambits ... 

Less direct control over party members ...

It's not about originality ... It's about who does it better! My point wasn't about Xenoblade Chronicles X battle system being a rip off of FF XII's combat. My point overall is that action based combat is more inuitive in realtime compared to what's in FF XII or Xenoblade ...

I have, and I disagree that XV has the better battle system.

But of course you do! FF XV isn't exclusive to the Wii U! xD

What a nonsensical post... Apparently someone doesn't think FFXV's battle system is better just because the game isn't exclusive to the WiiU.. Makes so much sense! xD

Are you new to Bigtakilla or something?

No, I'm aware that Bigtakilla is a Nintendo fan...... So?
