My copy should be arriving next week. =)

Thoguh I'm still not quite sure why I ordered it. >_>

Demon's Souls should be arriving soon too!

Either you got caught up in the hype or the opportunity. Either reason works well. :p

I don't think I helped. He asked me to convince to not get it, and I convinced to get it.

That's proof that he wanted it in the first place. If he really wanted to be convinced not to get it, he would have probably gone to someone like twesterm. (I think he said he doesn't like FF).

Yeah, not sure why he would go to me as I love Final Fantasy.

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi

Battle system sounds fun.

It definitely is a lot of fun to play.

I loved the gambits in 12, couldn't have beat Yiazmat without them. Everyone who didn't like them, could just elect not use them. I don't get why people didn't realize that.

I like to choose what every one of my characters does in combat that's why gambits irrated me. I knew how to use them perfectly to the point that I was feeling like I was walking my party from one automated fight to the other.

 

 

Yeah, but you could just not use them problem solved right?  I enjoyed gambits, because like I said I couldn't sit through 7 hours of fighting Yiazmat and select each and every action.  Did you beat Yiazmat or hell wyrm?  Honestly tell me if you could have sat there and NOT used gambits for those fights.

The battle system was built around gambits so not using them was not really an option. I didn't get all summons so I don't think I fought Yiazmat but I'm pretty sure that if the fight lasted 7 hours, you were doing something wrong.

No, Square has a thing for really long boss battles.

Yeah I just read up on it but I'm kinda derailed your thread so I'm going to say:

FFXIII's battle system sounds great to me from the demo impression and if like you said you'll get more control over your party in the final version I'm even more happy.

^ You said it perfectly. The bottom line is we want more control over the characters
