So exactly HOW different is this if you really look at all the past Final Fantasy games where for the majority of the time, you can easily get away with just spamming the Attack command to grind yourself through battles?
FFXIII's battle system is very similar to FFX-2's. FFX-2 was pretty fast itself, but FFXIII is just that bit more faster and you really have to pay attention to the numbers on-screen. Whilst you cannot control the other two characters in FFXIII, the different roles of the Paradigm Shift adds a similar but different layer to the way FFX-2's Dress Sphere system works. It's about using the right ones to keep yourself alive and being able to attack so there is some strategy and tactics involved.
Lost Odyssey is actually traditional old-school Turn-Based. ATB is exclusive to the Final Fantasy games.
Fair enough. That's a pretty good point!

So much hate! Just give the game a chance, it looks freakin epic I don't think anyone can deny that. Yeah that wierd kid from rpgfan who classes FF7/8/9 as overated dosen't like it, but frankly who cares.
Have it on preorder, not saying ignore the negativity but it's FF. A massive FF at that they must have put a hell of a lot of effort into making this game great.

Lolz i win i has all that week due to my bday nothing to do with ff
Bah. I ran out of holidays to take otherwise I would have done the same! Mine get refreshed at the end of March damnit.
So gentlemen, wheres the best place to pre-order this badboy? The Collectors Edition doesn't seem worth it to me, although I do prefer the more traditional front cover its not worth the extra 20 quid.
With it coming out on a Tuesday (WHY are they doing this!) I'm guessing a lot of companies will ship it thurs/fri the week before in order to be with you on launch day. Anyone fancy there chances of it turning up on the Friday?
Its so stupid to release a game midweek, it'll be sat on my shelf taunting me until I'm free on the weekend
.
EDIT: Ignore me, just reread the competitors sticky.

I love that type of battle system, and that's why LO and FFX are two of my favourite games.

I was planning to pick this up in store. But like others I'm thinking that pre-orders will ship before the weekend to insure delivery by the Tuesday; giving the chance of a Fri/Sat delivery.
Might be worth phoning a few customer service numbers to see what the postage trend is going to be for this obscure beginning-of-week release.

Indeed it is you are correct.
However Turn-Based is still miles better than this stupid auto-battle stuff they have started to use

Couldn't agree more.
I've tried to say clear of the thread but my excitement for this game is getting the better of me but I've holded off reading all but a couple of comments which thankfully aren't spoilers
Just two questions to anyone that has played the Jap version - are the sub-par review scores (I'd call them sub-par for a Final Fantasy game) justified or is it more likely a case of people have just overhyped the game too much and it didn't live up to unnecessarily high expectations? My other question was, as per X-2, can you disable ATB and go back to a regular turn based combat system or is the ATB too integral to the gameplay?
Sorry if these were already asked, I'm trying to not read the whole thread to avoid any spoilers.

and that is why im avoiding this game, unfortunately. i hated FFXII because of the rubbish auto battle system. the setting was great, just the battle system spoilt it for me.
personally, i would love to see another final fantasy tactics! i like that slow sort of tactical battle. but i also do like the ATB battle system too.
This might sound like a silly question, but will the UK version use circle (O) as confirm like the good old days?
Its sounds stupid but this will probably determine whether I get it on PS3 or 360. I know it will feel wrong playing a FF not on a Playstation but only if it makes me feel like I'm sat playing FF7/8 again. If not I might aswell feel alienated on the 360 and have the comfier controller and a potentially earlier first play.
