Does anyone besides me think that the new battle system for FFXII is stupid? I know I complained about the time battles, but this new system seems worse to me.

The new battle system is way better than the old turn based one. I don't see how you could hate it more than the old turn based system. It's also alot nicer because you can see most of your enemies beforehand so you can try to avoid them.

It is ok, but when you program the gambit system too well, the game plays itself pretty much. All you need to do is walk around. Maybe you control more when fighting a boss. Other than that though, It is too simple.

I personally like the final fantasy XII Battle system for it is a refreshing change in pace. As well there is talk of another final fantasy online game and it will be an improved version of twelve's battle system.

For me it's alot harder because I've been re-aquainting myself with FFVIII (Because I'm finally close to beating it after 6 years!), so for me the battle system in XII seems off. I mean, it's still got the time thing so that you can't just keep attacking, which was one of the plus' in Kingdom Hearts. I figure if I play enough I'll get used to it, but unfortunately everytime I turn it on, I end up having to leave.Another thing though, are the save crystals in XII SUPPOSED to be hard to find? Because I have to keep re-doing the opening 1/2 with Recks because I can't find a save crystal to save my life. It makes me sad. -----And what's worse is that I have the book and I still can't find one.

in my opinion, the new system is great. it is simply an improvement on an old system and it makes for a more action based gameplay that, in my opinion, is more realisticas enemies are visible before you fight them.

I prefer the older battle systems but I wouldn't say that the battle system they put into 12 was necessarily a step in the wrong direction though.

Personally, I had some trouble getting used to the new system. It seemed really strange, but after a few months of not playing FFXII I gave it another go. It was actually rather enjoyable after awhile. Its great being able to stay away from battles, and I like that its a lot faster than the previous FF Battle Systems. I actually like the new system more than I thought at first. I guess it just takes some adjustment after playing turn-based RPGs for so long, but its not too bad.

Have you really had that much trouble there???The save Crystal is on the stairs halfway through, its only a Prologue so don't spend time on it...And save Crystals pop up nearly every where I only have to think, 'I need to save' and theres on around the corner (That or i have remembered where they are)Personally I have enjoyed the new system, to a degree...With the newer system you feel a little more in control of your charater, one of the main flaws with the old turnbases system was the late night play ons, after fighting for the 10th time of the same creature and winning by hammering X kinda made me sleepy that I woke up one morning with the Playsation still on. LOL...The way you can move around the monster is handy with the hight and distances between you, though it would feel a little better that if you got behind the monster it didn't just turn 180 on the spot in a second a hit you as quick as it does, that or you really can't 'Dodge' the attacks...Time made little problem with me, due to the fact you can speed it up so it take only a second to swing again with active battles on, but the best bit is that theres is no more hammerings of X. Though I do get drowsy with the weak boring fights...The range system is nice in my view because it makes it a little more statergy required with the weapon use and who you bring with you. Guns and Bows hit the air creatures so if your charaters are all melee you need to switch out or something making it harder when Vaan is all melee and no magic, but you highest LVL...

....I love the battle system. The gambits can be useful, but seem to take over the battle a bit. My friend managed to set certain gambits, leave it run overnight and gain 25 levels. But in some parts the story line left me bored so I haven't played for a while XP

The Battle system deserves a 10/10 the only reason people hate turn based systems is because they dislike waiting to attack. The system is the same exact system as WOW and millions of people loved that game.
