    I thought surely he'd bash XII. I loved it too.

      It's a love/hate kind of game, that's for sure, FF fans split down the middle with it I believe. I myself enjoyed XII.

        I too prefered FFXII's battle system over all the others. I hadn't ever played FFXI so I was new to the whole "moving while fighting" thing. I enjoyed it. Gave the series an interesting feel.

    I absolutely loved XII's battle system. In my opinion, it's battle system is more in depth than any Final Fantasy game so far. I'm glad I'm not the only one on Earth that thinks that <<

    One thing (among numerous things) that I don't like about XIII's is that you can only control one person

    My favorite battle system ever has to be FFV's just for the sheer customisation in it, being able to switch job classes and mixing them together was alot of fun and challenging.

    Right now i'm enjoying FFXIII's battle system alot, less time to think, gotta act fast and not wait around.

      Same here,that level of customization is why V is one of my favorite FF games.

      And I too am enjoying XIII's battle system so far,but I give you,I wish you didn't have to wait to get upgrades for crystarium,since it puts a limit on how much your team can grow up to a certain point in the story....


      I don't agree with this article about VIII though. I personally loved how you can junction magic to your character's stats,because that way,you have almost COMPLETE control over everyone's stats.

      And you also have the aura spell,which allows you to use your limit breaks without having to have low HP.
