the battle system is actual real-time and not the real time/turn based hybrid from FFXII



It looks more like Star Ocean battle system. It is also made by the same people.



i hope they wont be yelling out their attacks constantly. It seemed rather ... silly.

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.

im pretty sure it will be like star ocean for the combat



It will be very similar to Star Ocean, which I quite liked, but I did prefer FF battle systems



No point in saying what everyone else said, but it I will anyhow!

It should be completely real time....like Star Ocean.

But I actually prefer the turn based systems and even the hybird turn based/real time systems personally.

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.
