i think the battle system is going to be great because its the battle system from 10-2

Is it? I thought there were going to be no more random battles. Random battles were in 10-2

Don't listen to broken sword. He's more full of shit than a manure truck.

i think it will be worse and bad as ffx-2 if the battle system came from ffx-2.

You're nearly as bad as he is.

whatever, Mr. Prak.... i'm just saying what i think anyway.

You'd have much more intelligent thoughts if you'd pay attention to the world around you. Perhaps you'd even understand that FFXII does NOT have the same battle system that FFX-2 had.

but it's ATB isn't it?

*sigh* I give up...

no, it's not ATB. It's RTB (Real-Time Battle). Instead of the FFVII/VIII/IX/X-2, which were all ATB, this one has the same battle system as FFXI (eleven). The difference is that you won't randomly run into enemies, you'll see them before you encounter them, they'll mind their own business until you run into them, and there won't be glass shattering either, you'll fight them right where you stand.

Well its good to know we wont be seeing the x-2 battle system in 12.

if its in the magerzine then i belkive it if it comes out of mr prak it bull*hit

In exactly what magazine did you read this?

I get my information from my online source, IGN. Check out the Final Fantasy XII Preview at IGN PS2 to get the full details of FF12's battle system. In short, it will NOT be ATB (that is, it is definately NOT the same as FF10-2). It is in fact similar to Final Fantasy XI's battle system - that's right, not random battles, direct control over ONE character. The AI of the other characters will be controlled by Gambits, similar to the AI routines in RPGs such as Knights of the Old Republic.

Broken Sword, i'm warning you, if this harrasment continues, you will be banned.

i did not mean to

Yeah I was told the battles would be real time and you can avoid the random encounters because you can see the enemy.

Not a big fan of real time battles, but we'll have to see!

I'm not a fan of real time battles either. But random battles really pissed me off, when you get to a bit in one of the FF and you always get attacked by random monsters.

*sigh* I give up...

hmmmmmmm.......................................... ....

I hate to say this but Prak knows a hell of a lot more than some magazine and i would rather listen to him.

When I heard about FF12, I was like, WHOO-HOO! When I seen the first pictures, I was like, AWESOME, when I heard there would be no more random battles, I was like, That's Cool, but, I'm still not too sure if this is true?

Think Vagrant Story (if you've played it) .....or the Mana games (Seiken Densetsu)

No one knows for sure what the battle system is going to be until the game comes out. Unless you designed the system please dont tell us what you think it might be or what some lame magazine said it was going to be.

And Prak, if I may quote William Dafoe. "Take a break, you dont have to be a prick everyday of your life"

Um well the battle system has already been shown at E3. So yeah, it is in real time.

kthxbai~

Take a break? heh... Manikal, I find telling it like it is to be relaxing.

I heard they no longer have the random battles. Sorry I didnt read the thread because I am tired so please dont flame if you already talked about this.

Well, Im glad you found a job that makes you happy and relaxed. Now if only I could do the same. Mah job sucks big time.

Yea, same here, I come here once in a blue moon.... If there aren't any radom battles how would they level up? Do they even level up anymore?

Probably just like in every other game to not have random battles. You see the enemies on the screen. Sometimes they attack no matter what, and sometimes you can avoid fighting them if you want.

Like CT (Chrono Trigger)

What's the point in abbreviating it if you're going to spell it out anyway?

Some people are new to RPG's (Role Playing Games) and they wouldnt know of the classics or most of the fundamental basics. Just letting them know they are noobs and spelling it out for them too.

Im extremely excited about FFXII, not that everyone else isnt, lol. Most of us are. I dont really have an opinion on real time battles theyre ok. I like ATB just fine, but i DO HATE that alot of times they come too friggin often when ur trying to reach somewhere 3 feet away. But on the contrary, real time battles give ppl the freedom to be lazy (nuthin wrong with that) but if ur toooo lazy u wont fight as much and level up and ur ppl will be weak. Dunno. but i guess since real time lets you controll it you can play yo' way.

Anyhoo. i dont care what kind of battle system it is it will still be GREAT. Although id be dissapointed if it were similar to FFX..but it wont be so s'cool. :coolegg:

Later..

ALso alot of you probly been there seen it done it. But since alot of you have disputes on the battle system and youre sources, i just wanted to post a DEFINITE source that mey help some of ya. it cant get more real than this folks:

http://www.ffxii.net/?nav=game/battlesys

So its NOT ATB and its NOT RTB, though it is real time it is a new system, even different from FFXI called ADB Active Dimention Battle. But there is still an ATB bar..sorry ppls

Hope i help at least one people person. :cool:

they said it would be more like vagrant story, which is fine with me, those battles were intense and epic

ATB is the best/RTB is the worst theres no doubt

A real time battle system makes me sad...

i hope that the battle system is as good as ffX-2 when the party members move around to dodge attacks or to do moves as it will add a more realistic veiw of the battles when the party moves. Also i hope the have summons again mainly Ifrit, Shiva, Banhnut, Anima and Zamonto.:angel:

What.....?

this thread is pointless now.
