What do you think is the best limit system. I like FFX's.

Well, if you are going to pick one, you should also explain why.

Also, it'd be nice if you actually included the Final Fantasies prior to FFVII. For some odd reason, those games get forgotten a lot. :(

Well then, I'll explain. I like FFX's Overdrive system cuz of a number of reasons. One cuz unlike FF7 and FF9 you can use it at will. and 2 cuz you can set how the Overdrive Gauge is set.

Is that explained enough?

FF5 and back didn't have a Limit System. FF6 "sorta" does, except it's pretty random on when they actually do it.

I think ff7's got the best limit system, probably because its the one im used to most.

FFVII's my favorite limit system.

FF7's system is my favorite. it's easy for me. FFx's is okay.

It seems to me that the people saying 7 had their favorite limit system are only saying that because 7 was their favorite game and really aren't judging fairly.

After all, the question was, "Which game had the best limit system?", not "Which game had your favorite limit system?"

This just furthers the bad impression many of us have of FFVII fans. Why not try to give a good impression by showing objectivity? And if you really think FFVII's was the best, at least give a decent explanation.

As for my vote, I said FFX because it's the only one that gives you control over your limits. FFVIII would be second because it gives them to you when you probably need them. The limits usually wind up wasted with the others.

MogKnight is right Smokey. This is one case where the thread-starter was a actually right not to include pre-FFVII, because FFVII really introduced the "limits" system as such. FFVI has Desperation attacks, every character except Gau, Gogo and I think maybe Umaro has a special attack they can perform when you command them to Attack and their HP is at critical. It's so random though and most of them aren't that special, so I don't see why anyone would ever vote for that one.

I'd say Final Fantasy X's was the most powerful and my favorite. Not only were most fo the attacks quite strong, but it was versatile also - you can choose how you want Overdrives to build up or even convert them into AP.

I guess Final Fantasy VII's was pretty cool for me also. Final Fantasy VIII may have actually been stronger because it's so easy to manipulate.

Final Fantasy IX - I'm not surprised nobody's even mentioned this. Trance? Could come in useful at times, but way too unreliable to be a good system for me.

I think the FF-VII limit system was the best. I liked to see it growing, and I liked the idea of the special limits. And I liked using them.... :)

The FF-X limit system was ok too, but there were too many ways for activating them. I didn't like using some of them.... ;)

Then good thing for you there were so many of them. There was nothing forcing you to use the ones you didn't like, so it just makes for a greater level of customization.

And by the way... I give up trying to talk sense. No one listens...

First of all, FF-X is my 2. favorite Limit system, ok? Second, no one forced me using them, because I only did use the once I wanted. Third, it was only my opinion. No need, to make me down again.

This is not a personal attack, but if you have the feelings that nobody listens, well, maybe it is, because you are too critical all the time. If people get used to that, they stop listen after a while. In this case it was a simple topic, so people give simple answers to it. That's it. Even if you are right, don't be so stiff. Relax and drink a beer....

(I don't want to offend you, or start a big discussion, ok? So, don't understand it wrong)

i like any that didnt have a limit system, I think its a silly idea personally

btw! The FFVIII Limit System was probably my favorite. You didn't have some stupid bar to fill up and the fact that you don't need to level up your limits is great. Just get your HP to yellow and hit cancel like mad until it pops up!

I didn't like eight's because you had to have your HP so low to use it unless you used Aura :(.

I didn't like it either. I really didn't like having to get attacked a lot so your HP would turn yellow. And you get the magic spell "aura" so late in the game..

Well, it is considered a desperation attack rather than a stored attack. Would you want your ass saved by a Limit Break or would you want to waste it on a level 4 Bomb monster that just so happened to knock you into Limit mode??

This can be pretty bad in a big fight. Usually only one of my party members were low on HP (the one with the most useful Limit). If they died, I used a Phoenix down, so they were back alive, but also on low limit again. ;)

It worked pretty fine with me.... :)

I agree with mogman, 8 was best because it came along when it was needed. ;)

For Once I agree with MOgKnight... FF8 was easier to deal with, it was when your health was low, your Limit activated. in Reality (WOW.... reality some you don't hear everyday..) when your are WEak, about to Lose, you usually would go Berserk, your LImit (adrenline(sp)) kicks up..

I picked FFVII because it has a simple and straightforward limit system and probably the best limit breaks out of any FF title out there.

ditto

In a way 8 was cheap. With Squalls lion Heart and have high enough stats you just need to die and use is life/Phoenix Down and use your limit break and thats it, you can beat practicly everyione in the game.

if y our gonna play queerly then of course this is an arguement. If you play properly then this isnt a problem

Thats an Ignorant statment.

whys that?

dude, 7's was the best, i liked getting new limits every once in a while, it felt like a reward.

FFX's because you could influnce them in several ways, giving you control over your limits. And I hated how you -had- to use your limit in FFVII and couldn't save it for a more aprotiate time, like a bossfight.

All I did in FFVII was use the defense command or a cure spell or something. I guess I had no trouble with it or problems with it affecting my playing.

Same with me. Or I used attack magic or an item or some other special command. And later on in the game, I discovered the delights of the Enemy Skill Goblin Punch, which you can use just like a physical attack for 0 MP.

whys that?

Because there is no "Proper" way to play a game.

I would just like to say how much ''Trance'' sucks cause during the middle of the battle it just pops up and you cant realy use it stragticly and found it very fusterating did any of you

I didn't like 9's trance system either.

I like X's the best because you could save it till you actuallt wanted to use it and thats what i would do against hard bosses get my overdrive up then save it till i get to the boss then ill deel a whole lot of damage to it right of the beginning

First things first does prak have a life it seems as though he just follows those around who like ff7 just to diss them. now on to business my favorite and what i think is the best limit system was ff8 becuase you got it when you needed it and you could use it consecutivly and the aura spell made the boss a piece of cake (shooting star and lion heart) 7's was good but it kinda didnt help you when you needed it and it got kinda annoying when you had to sit there leveling the characters up to get the best ones 9 i cant say anything about it cuz i never played 9 and 10's seemed to me to be a lot like 7's but you could change the way the bar went up.

Yes, I have a life, but not for the hours I spend at work, doing absolutely nothing and waiting to hear a phone's ring that may not come all night. During those hours, I truly have nothing better to do than read every single new post on the boards and throw my two cents in wherever I want.

And I don't diss people for liking FFVII. I diss the FFVII fans who act stupid.

By the way, this is not an AOL chat room, so punctuation is regarded as a good thing.

Its a tie between VII and X for me.

I liked VII's because you earned new ones, and you found the last ones. Also, you could save your limit break for another battle, unlike VIII's.

X's was good, because you could choose how you wanted your limit to come, like warrior and the others. I really liked this one, though, because you could still attack even though you have a limit.

VIII's was okay, but I always missed it, because if it was a boss fight, I'd attack and wouldn't realize I was supposed to press over, until it was too late.

IX, assuming the "limit" is trance, was kind of annoying, because it could happen in any random battle, so right when you kill the monster, you could go into trance. It seemed wasted, to me.

To me the best limit system was FFVII but FF7 AND FF10 also had great limit systems i cant seem 2 make up my mind. Infact, all of them were great.

Overdrive by far

u c on this system u can choose da way of charging ur Overdrive meter and u learn da modes by doing an act frequently which works in ur favour in so many ways

ff7 was pretty simple and easy to use.ff x`s was good but a bit harder to understand

i like ff8, you got the limit breaks when you needed them ( cos of low hp) so there was way less potential to waste them....like in ff9, man did that ever suck...

mickrulz.... i hated trance too, but ya people looked very pretty in trance though. and there is no proper way to play you're right, thats why they put the aura spell in the game...much more simple than that life trick..

i feel that ff8 was the better limit break system because you could reuse your limit breaks by pressing o meaning you can beat your enemies alot easier

I like ff8's becouse you use it when you are farily weak and you can cast aura on yourself so you can always use it and i like too pick wether you want to use limit or not, that is why i like it better than ff7. ff7 was good too. ff9 took waay too long to get trance. ffx's was pretty cool also.

FFVII's was the best for me ( I havent Played FFX yet, so i cant coment on that one :( )

The reason i liked FF7s was because you could spend time building it up and you could use it when you needed to (unlike FF8 or 9)

With FF8 i often found that before i could use the Limit technique, my character had been Ko'd by the boss, or that even when at critical health the limit technique wasn't available

With FF9 as soon as the trance meter was full thats it your in trance, you dont get to chose when you use it, and its completely gone after a battle (this one makes sense though).

i liked x as you could pick how your limit went up stonic dancer allie healer blah blah it was the best way

I am one of two that has voted FF-IX.

Ah well I'm just different then...

IX is the best cos you can use it more than once in the trance period. Although you can't get past 9999 in IX and the trance attacks can easily get to 9999, that's a big downside.
