i've played so many turn based rpgs back in the day. just glad that western rpgs start taking things to the next level. I liked ff12's gambit system. It can be an automated for grinding and you really have no choice but to micromanage your characters for tougher boss fights. It's actually pretty complex when dealing with higher level foes as you have to change tactics based on the current situation considering positioning plays a part to deal with AOEs. If anything its probably one of the best combat system in all of the FF series

FFX-2 is starting to be sucks, it's almost like FF13 if they don't let you control all 3 characters...
FF12 is still pretty good although it took off turn base system. If you master the system then you will enjoy the game.
FF13 is sucks even if you master the system... wait is there really a system in FF13...

anything but ff13 battle system please!! i rather back to ATB bar!!!

Yup, as expected squeenix just confirmed that FFVIIR is being developed on UE4. Those shaders were too obvious.
They would probably use havok as the middleware for physics too I think. Kinda comical to pre bake everything now a days.

EDIT:
As for story, squeenix just said that each part will be equivalent to a full sized game, and each entry will have its own unique story.

Pretty much confirms that there will be a Zack story entry. As for full sized game, lol... as long as they don't make it as grundy as the snore fest known as FFXIII saga, I'm cool with it.
