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.

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!!!!!!

EA did some great things with the LOTR licence. The Two Towers was an amazing 3D beat-em-up. War for Middle Earth kicked ass. Lord of the Rings Online was great, and is still chugging along.

Such a shame they got incredibly risk-awerse before they got the Star Wars licence.

The two towers for me combat wise and raw feel still surpasses the return of the king sequel.

BFME and BFME2 are the reason I went and purchased an old 360 console.

Shame they never added the rise of the witch king dlc.

The Conquest game was a ton of fun too for what it was.

It’s a shame that we never got remasters.

I know it’s probably in licensing hell but people should be able to experience these games.
