I liked how it was so customizable. If you wanted to be lazy, you could be lazy, and if you wanted a challange, you got a challange.

Not sure if I like it better than the old system, though.

i think it was better than the other system, those random battles just annoyed the hell out of me, and to be able to see you enemies and avoid them was pretty cool. It made the environments more interesting as well

Hm... I think I do like XII's system... But I also like turn-based. It mostly depends on my mood, but I'd probably say I like XII's way better in that respect, even though I like parts of other games' battle systems in different ways.

Besides the actual battling, I have to say I definitely prefer random encounters to have monsters walking around. It freaks me out that there could be a horde of 'em sneaking up on me, just off the map. ninja

I have the feeling that at least part of this post is very confusing.

xd but isnt the thought of a hord of monsters could randomly attack you before you even see them coming more scary than seeing them off in the distance and taking the long way around them? The only thing that sometimes got me was when i fled from enemies into another area, forgot what i was doing, turned around and went back the way i had come and was attacked byy the gang of monsters that had been chasing me xd very amusing -_-

I love the new XII system. I just don't know why they added a wait bar! Why can;t they make one like Kingdom Hearts since FF created it?

While I really, really liked FFXII's battle system (espcially the non-random battles), I really do prefer a turn-based system, for FINAL FANTASY.

I just personally find that FF particularly ought to be turn-based, although I'd love if they removed random battles.

If I wanted to play an MMO I would be playing FFXI. I really did not get into the battle system of this one. I am on the side of bringing back turn based.

Personally I liked XII's battle system a lot better, because it made things a lot more realistic. It allows more freedom of movement to the point where you could run, fight, or avoid a fight altogether. You can even run from bosses and avoid attacks until you got your attacks ready. Of course, I still like the old system time based battle systme too, except for FFX's turn based and so on since it seemed to make things a little boring I might say. It seemed to give you too much advantage during a battle, because you could see when your opponent was about to make a move or a super attack, thus allowing you to avoid it...*cough...sacrificial Aeons...* like the battle with Nemesis in the arena. The fact that you could look at your surroundings during battle and make it look like you have a different battle pose everytime is a beautiful thing to see.

actually i like turn based a lot better because being in that system is hard since when you run away you usually die and grab aggro

ff12's battle system was a good idea to evolve to but needless to say there will have to be a lot of tweaking and fine-tuning done before i pull away from the turn-based systems.

Yes, I think they should turn to the Final Fantasy XII battle system. It's much better and realistic than those aggravating random battles.

I enjoyed the turn based system, but then again that is most likely because after playing 10 final fantasy games with the same system it just gives twelve a odd feeling. I didn't mind the real time mainly because i played the FF mmo for awhile so I was use to it but in all honesty after 10 games of the turn based i prefer it.

Turn based was definitely better.
