[General Discussion] Everything turning Action/RPG: FF, DQ, Shining Force, etc

After being spoiled by FFXII, I don't think I could ever go back to random battles, ever again. I never realized how annoying it was until I had something to compare it against.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Battle systems for MMORPGs tend to be too simple, and that works for those kinds of games, but for a offline RPG, HECK NO!

The simple fact that it is based on an MMORPG battle system does not automatically make it stupid. IMO, the real beauty of FFXII's battle system shows when fighting truly intense battles such as the battle with Yiazmat. Or Ultima, or Omega. Just imagine trying to manage such battles without your gambits, in real time!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

FF XII's battle system looks like it's very intense during boss battles, but it should shine in regular fights too.

Oh, it does, especially when there is a ton of a certain enemy, such as the Baknamy or Urutan-Yensa.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
