still remember, fighting ultima weapon in FF7 , turn based ATB , in two hours.

crazy days.

the thrill about turn based battle is the gamble factor. one fcuk up and get ready to die or face a huge handicap to make a comeback. its all about strategy. and the luxury of controlling the whole party. this is a role playing game after all.

it was all brains and strategy, not ike now , spam X as fast as you can

heh. i never fought the ultima, thats the one where you fight in the arena in the chocobo racing place right? i didnt have the patience. but i remember fighting sephiroth for damn long already, on his last transformation i think and my brothers friend crossed over my psx (was on the floor cause wayar for controller not long enough) and kicked the AC plug out! bam!

but yeah you really gotta think about things and focus... the worst is wanna heal a character and that guy dies! then you heal yourself even though full HP hahah. but i love controlling all characters. thats the best. i dont like just using one character then switching or switch back. damnit!

for the new FFVII (there is right?) hope they dont remove the turn based ATB. even fast paced turn base is ok. kinda like what started in FFX-2

I would like the battle system to stay but you know lah SE ...

nooooooooooo!!!! y u do that SE?! will need to see what this action is all about... then will come back and complain.

"The developers don’t yet know how Cloud and crew will defend attacks in Remake." hahahah.

well for FFXV its just a simple block button right. kinda boring. not really a hack and slash fans. hope the game is gooding.

eh??? 2 hours? i don't remember fighting Ultima that long lol

but yeah, i like turn based, too fast paced giving me all sorts of headache (duscae and platinum demo both gave me headache issue...)

yeah ff-x2 turn base was pretty decent, but I like best was FFX, you can switch out anytime you like. didn't quite like XII's gambit system though...

yeah ffx was my favorite. player dying can swap out and everyone levels up together. i think if they at least swap in once? forgot already. slow and steady and get to control all of them to an extent. instead of being like... fak, flying guy i cant reach... we all buat bodoh (i hope they do a special action when the character cant reach flying character, like some little kid jumping hahahah). then at least can switch to wakka and whack the guy.... i mean it makes sense right? 6 guys in a team, they just gonna be like yo. you 3 go at it till you die. and then we all will run away suikoden was fun with 6 players to be controlled on screen during fights.

growing up playing turn based FFs
never missed any FFs
until FF13

FF13 is the first that I played until fall asleep
As it's just a dumb game pressing single button for battle only
Play time not even 1 hour, collecting dust on shelve since day 1

Since FF15 also gonna have a dumb button smashing battle system, I'm gonna skip it

you can switch them around as much as you want, but once you are fully powered up, doesn't matter who you use anymore, but I like it that way, I can use anyone and at anytime i want.

Suikoden ah... in my gaming list but haven't started on it yet

ff13 was decent la, with the paradigm shift. didn't quite like 13-2 combat style but is still acceptable but the worst was lightning returns. I am like wtf all the times, plus THOSE SKIMPY OUTFITS.

yeah suikoden is damn good! i played all of them, but now discontinued, but there is quite a large group continuing to fight for a new release hahah. if you play it now i dunno if the feeling is good. with sprites and cant run diagonally hahah. damn fun to look for characters and build your castle and send your soldiers to war. up to 108 characters you can mix and match.

FF13, i think was ok. damn hard though. i didnt like FF13-2 at all! and didnt even bother to play lightning returns... i didnt finish FFXII though, but that also was alright. didnt like the main char with his aladdin clothes. played all the way till the final stage and then was like. bleh.... dont wanna play anymore....

that's why I'm still sticking to DQ series, the good old turn based system
which SE haven't screwed over yet :touch wood:

man i only played 1 dragon quest but then didnt get to finish. forgot why. maybe had to return it or something. hai... i should go pick up the PS4 one. looks gooding. will wait till really cheapo. im poorfag.

the first suikoden had that run where you are not supposed to early on to get a special too which was kinda epic... and a pretty decent plot twist.
those were the days.

seems this thread getting derailed a bit. hahah. anyways made a RPG chatroom can chat about RPG's if anyone interested. and live the glory days of RPG goodness

i am ok with playing old games, it's very different from the current ones...

13 wasn't hard, it is quite easy once you get the hang of it. 13-2 I finished the main storyline, but I can't be bothered to plat the game, and all those fancy DLC. I nearly died. LR was ok la, but I prefer to have actual party members than just a goddess like figure. FFXII finished main story and most of the side quest, can't do the yiazmat cuz it's freaking crazy. And did i say I hate the gambit system? If it goes for a remake I will try to finish everything.

all ff battle systems have never disappointed me whether it is ATB or smashing button, i just needed time to adapt it.

what i miss since ff9 is the airship flying around... and to ff15, who needs an airship!!!! when you can fly with your car!!!!!

the car thing is kinda.... for me hahaha. same like the gun-sword

i like the normal big ships like FF games of old. somehting about flying a ship heheh.

turn based.... ahhh......
breath of fire I II III IV
Suikoden
Xenogears
Crono Cross...

......... childhood.....

dont care as long as 'i believe i can fly'..

hahahah. i think this goes for everyone...

get the ship = fly around pointlessly really fast until bosan hahah.

the next i wish ff15 to have is a big single open world like tw3 or skyrim. not region to region with loading time!!!
