I think the new system is better then the older one, because it let you to avoid the battle if you don't want to fight, and it's more realistic too.

I actually tried playing it today, and GASP! i found the save crystals. I'm still not very far in (as I spend an hour playing with that huge dinosaur that doesn't attack you. It distracted my poor little mind), but I'm getting used to it. It's actually pretty cool being as you can "run" from the enemy, wait for the gage to fill, THEN go back and attack it. It'll take me a bit longer to say "Hey, I actually like this" but I'm getting there now that I'm not so confused.

I think it's kinda complicated, but in time I would get used to it.

I prefer the old style better, the summonings in XII kinda feel nerfed and take forever for the little movies to play, and gambits are kinda of a pain to buy/find.

It's good at first, but it makes me feel sleepy as I progess deeper into the game. I hope they change the system in FF-13

I thought it was the best part of the game, personally. Other than that, I thought it was horribly tedious and uninteresting.

the battle system in 12 has it down sides and up sides......good thing is is that u dont have to wait for the screan to laod to get into a battle and when u dont want to fight u can just run run run and u dont have to play the whole time u can go take a piss and still get further......bad thing is is that u dont have very much control

I thought that the battle system was annoying... It was slower paced than several real-time rp games I'm used to playing, and it reminded me too much of Final Fantasy XI. In my opinion, it would be good for an online fight, but not as a solo game.

battle system is OK and original... you can run away from monster easily... you can travel faster this way and you dont get annoyed becouse of the fights

The battle system was the whole reason I didn't finish the game.

I'm glad that I gave the game a shot now. It's actually turning out to be one'a my favorites. Although, it's harder for me to play now that I have a job and no time to just sit around like I used to. Thus making it all the more frustrating when I get confused, but otherwise, I'm starting to see the advantages of the new battle system.

it seems kind of generic because it still does not go far from the traditional FF battle system

i like ff12's battle system what dont like though is that everyone shares the same license board with the exception of quickenings, because it makes it feel like all the characters are the same unless you make an elaborate plan for every characters licenses at the begining of the game which is of course impossible if your playing the game for the first time.

If it's the first time playing, I'd say that you'll misjudge the game (like me) and the more you actually play, I think the more you'll actually get into it.

Er, turn-based was the best, in my opinion. The FF series was supposed to be a laid back story more than a game...

That's a good point too. I actually used to dislike turn baised til I played FF, and it kinda grew on me, which is another reason I was so shocked with this games changes. However, I played SO3 after FFVII, and I realized that SO3's battle system is MUCH more complicated.

The battle system is a refereshing change from atb but i persomally would have liked to see something more similar to phantasy star universe used, but i do like the gambits and the way that your party members are not stupid.
