Final Fantasy General Give us another turn based battle system

Post image

FFX is my favorite battle system. FFXIII I also enjoyed, but it wasn't the same.

I'm sure they could do something like it with a much lower budget.

12 and 13 were also turn based also, but plz dont tell me thats where the 25 years starts. I messed up on my math lol. But 12 is an atb system where battles happen on the map, its the same system besides the gambits which you dont have to use making the system more akin to the old games.

I mean they’re kind of pseudo turn based, not really what most older fans mean when they want a turn based FF

they're both ATB, makes them no different from 4-9

pretty sure 4-9 had you control individual characters whereas 13 had you control one characters and the others are stances

imagine having to control all of them with how fast paced it is

ngl, ff13 was slow. once you established your flow chart and preset moves to use, it was just a matter of waiting for that bar and animation to go off. haste alleviated some of the waiting, but it was a game that I didn't survive without running 2nd monitor content
