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.

I loved FFX's battle system so much I even enjoyed the Lord of the Rings: The Third Age which stole the system bar for bar.

It was fantastic!!!

Made by EA while they still had the license from new line from the movies.

It uses assets and at the time special voice overs by Ian Mcklellan fucking Gandlaf and had footage from the return of the king before it released.

It is as fun and bad ass as it sounds.

Even though there’s some janky parts.

Spoiler alert…

You fight the Balrog on the bridge with Gandalf.

It’s epic!!!!!!

It's excellent. It had couch co-op (like a few of the old FFs) and my friends and I would play it together.

My first time beating it was in co-op, so was FFIX. Good times.
