I still think FFXIII has the most addictive battle system ever

[Koba St]

The game overall was garbage. The story, music and characters were forgettable, but the saving grace was the battle system. It was absolute pure crack

The way you would switch between the different types like commando, the trigger system where you just pummel the enemies, etc. I never skipped past a single battle because it was so good and addictive.

I haven’t played this game in over ten years but to me it’s still the best battle system of any game I’ve played

It was cool, but no. Game also took entirely too long to even let you have even half full access to it's battle system.

This and 8 are the only FF games i couldn’t bring myself to finish. I hate everything about this game outside of the battle theme and lightnings design

I've been wanting to play this game again, loved the battle system.

X-2 has a better system to me.

i thought it was always dope, but it rarely demands players do more than the basics - that alone made people never try to see how creative they could get with things

i'd run it back if the pc port was better

So wait? Is it turn based?

I haven’t played a FF Game since FF7 on PS2

And the last Turn Based game I played was Lost Odyssey

It’s not turn based. It’s an ARPG

Whoa?


WTF is an ARPG?

Action RPG. The characters don’t stand around waiting for their turn like turn based. You keep keep moving them around to hit

WOW!!!! I’m so l out of touch with these acronyms

I don’t even know how that works

Now you bout to make me go down a YouTube rabbit hole

 

[feelosofer]

X-2 is better, imo. If you're talking about the 3-D games.

Matter fact…. What all games are ARPG?

Im legit learning something new today


Cuz I still don’t understand how that works

Like are you still switching between 3 characters and does the enemy still stay in the same place? What it just rotates and attacks as you run in circles?

@It was always you koba you just fukked up and opened of a door where I have so many questions and I need answer

FF13 battle system was garbage.

Took a 3rd of the game for you to utilize the battle system to its full extent, and even then all you were doing was switching styles and mashing auto attack.

Persona has the most addictive turn based battle system imo.

It's not ARPG, the characters move around on their own, all you to is select the style and mash auto attack while your party randomly selects the best moves for the situation.

Yes I loved the battle system. It felt like a proper evolution of turn based combat.

Actually really like the game as a whole. Would like it to be remastered.
