Battle System

[Len]

I have read that the new BS is not random that the battles will happen seamlessly with in the game. So does this mean that the fighting won't be turned based? and if so will this mean that the fighting will be some form of hack and slash?

Well it's real time,like strategy.. but not quite,so it's like Grandia 2 (PS2)
also,they say there will be no"battle victory fanfare" which makes
no sense what-so-ever.

Still expect:
beauiful,new environments
the lavish CGI cut scenes
Summons & a new outlook

A form of hack "n" slash?
well maybe,turn based get's boring..
so the new one will get boring...
regardless! all the new things are the real draw.

The turn based may get boring but the FF series has always made the battle system different in every game that it never really felt boring. So why mess with a system you know already works? Don't get me wrong the new system is a good idea but not many people have taken to it like they have the turned based. I just think some fanboys may be dissappointed on this system works with this title.

Think you've hit the nail on the head there.. it better be good

I agree. I love turn based rpg and shy away from real time stuff, i hate to be rushed.

Well it's not really to break the formula,to tell you the truth i never really trusted
the directer of this game FF:tactics advance,he is bringing vieras,judges..
this feels surreal,the battle system... this is like a PS2 FF:tactics,he mentioned no love stories,yet i see screens of characters kissing,and wedding.
Sure fanboys might be dissapointed,but it is turn based still,just wth a new way to move and attack,well i'm going to have to play it to see how different it is.

Actually, he said that like all FF games, there'd be an element of love in it , though he also added it may not be like usual.

I guess your right but if the battle system is real time isn't likely to assume that even though you may three members following you in your party, you may just be controlling the main character and the others are just AI

You can control the other characters,i had a glimpse of the demo
though the peoplewould not let me play..
eh.. still! you may control the others characters,not just the main one.
