- FFXIII will definitely have a party battle system, where you control each character as they switch turns, like in a normal FF. It will not be like FFXII (THANK GOD).

So its turn based? I'm confused. Wasn't it suppose to be more real time than turn based like FFXII? That is what I got from the first trailer. Anyway thank god that it will use a party battle system.

Yea I'm a little confused about that too. The trailers made it seem like if it was very action RPG like, so IDK how u would control the party

 

I was thinking it'd be turn based...but at the same time not. Like, I mean you attack with a certain character and go into an action RPG like sequence, and after a certain number of hits or the attack is done (while your character is running in battle, you choose the attack) you switch characters.

 

They did say it will be ATB in one of the interviews before, but the battles won't be random.  ATB has always been my favorite battle system (used in FF IV-IX & X-2), so it's good news.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

Turn Based!!!!!! thank you Square!
That probably means we get random encounters back? or will we have something like the Star Ocean 3 overworld map?

This really does sound awesome.

I may import ACC for the demo, and because I've never seen the movie. Assuming it's at a reasonable price, that is.

Is the movie good?

The plot is kind of bland and it's geared toward FF7 fans (guessing you have played the game).  But the visuals are freakin' amazing and I'm very excited to see this in Blu-ray glory.  From what I've heard, it will have English Audio and Subs.  At least that's what they are saying on AnimeonDVD.com

Actually, the only FF I have played is FFX, which I started five days ago, and will finish soon. :P

After that, I plan to play FFXII, and maybe track down FFIX.
