Which FF has your favorite Battle System?

This includes actual combat, as well as stuff like equipment, materia, and sphere grid.

i like crystal chronicles because it had a new and fun battle system somewhat like kingdom heart

Do we include games like FF Tactics (Advance)? if so then I loved that sytem. Much more involed in fighting and battles lasted over 10 minutes. Way more interesting if you ask me. Though it does get repetative.

I like FFX and FFTA. With FFX, you can involve all the characters with nearly each battle, thus having them level up equally with everyone else. And with FFTA, I really enjoy battles lasting longer than three minutes. It made for a lot more strategy, and some fun times.

I liked the FFCC battle system since you pretty much team up with friends and deal with enemies rather quickly and fun, I especially loved the fact about combining spells together. The FFXI battle system is pretty nice too but MMORPG battle systems are pretty repetitive but fun things do happen during fights. Believe it or not, I have a lot of fun trying to run away from monsters that we end up not being able to kill... problem is that repeating the whole party back together. Finally, I'm looking extremely forward towards FFXII battle system since it'll be more opened and varied over the turn based systems that FF has long been in.

i like the turn based battles in FFX and the ability to change your characters during battle, like smokey said this made it easier to level your characters up evenly.

i like ffx because there is no atb bar and you can see the move order- it makes battles far more tactical and makes you think ahead
ffta is also good

Just like you gotta think ahead in Chess.... how about a FF Chess you'd have to watch out for those Black Mages and their spells... neway i still think FFX's was and is the best

FF T's battle system was really good, I had difficulity beating even normal monsters in the early game though.

Materia System was cool as hell, cause you could think about many many combination of supporting materias and others, that was really clever, hoever I thought Limit Break was the only way to distinguish the characters in comparison to other FFs whose each character's role is pretty obvious.

yeh i think probly X has a good one, its pretty nice. 7 and 9's are bout the same as each other its a good one it doesnt have to much detail but its easy to use

final 7 is the best using the materia n 9 is the worst

Me my favorite battle system is the one in FFX-2. The battles are more interresting with that system. But i like the materia system in FF7, you can do a tons of combo and all.

My favorites are the materias from FF-VII and the sphere grid from FF-X. :)

Materia, because it�s up to yourself how good or bad your own fighters are. Everybody can use magic, everybody can fight too, it�s all up to you. I like that. ;)

Sphere grid, because it�s interesting to see, what your group can learn at next. And you can choose in what way you want to lead them. :D

I love the materia idea of FF7 so thats probably my favourite, but I also like the battle system in FFX, where you can take it in turns.

the game that has the best battle sistem is ff8

I like FFX-2's battle system.

I love the FFX battle system, because you can change characters in and out of a battle. I also love the FFX-2 battle system.

I loved FFVIII's junction system because it had so much more depth than any other, so that's my favorite. However, honorable mention goes to FFX's turn-based battle system and sphere grid.

I thought the systems in VII and IX were overly simplistic, so I took absolutely no joy from character progression.

Prak, didn't you have a fun in thinking about mateira combos?

I also want to know what you think about Monsters leveling up system in FFVIII, I found it really bad.

The monsters leveling up got really annoying to me.

I'm not saying it was a bad system, just not as much depth as I like. I actually had fun with the materia (despite its simplicity) until I used Knights of the Round with a couple others (I remember one of em was Quadra, forgot the other) and wound up waiting just about an hour for it to finish. That was when I realized the system still needed plenty of tweaking.

That was almost what exactly I thought, I found the monster leveling up system quite annoying especially after you get to level 100. That's when most monsters get much stronger than you, if you don't have good magic for Junction, they kick your ass easily and Level 5 Death works on you.

Yeah, it's kind of stupid that you have to wait that long for just KOTR to fihish, but if you say it, actually the matter is the existence of KOTR, it there wasn't KOTR there wouldn't be any problem with materia system or they should've put a functoin which enables you to decide whether you use the normal summoning motion or shorter version of it.

One more thing, I wish there was a stronger montster than the weapons so that I would be able to test a lot of materia combos.

I think 8 was not so good....

because of the junction system, the only reason to choose which teammember you take was their limit breaks...
because with this system you can get 255 points with the most important stat on almost anyone....

I think i like the materia system th best... decididng which combo's of materia are the best.. etc.
