So i want to know then, how did they change the battle system? Whats new? What did they remove, or improve on? And how do you people know they drastically changed it, like, where did you hear it from, 'cuz i havent heard anything about it being drastically different, well, i havent heard details on it yet.

IGN and stuff. Have you ever played the .hack games? The battle system is a lot more similar to those games or other MMORPGs than past Final Fantasy games. More similar to FFXI than FFX.

If the battle system is like the .Hack series It will be interesting to see how they do multiple characters in one battle. If I rember in .Hack you couldent control your partner....but I could be wrong.

Anyway It looks like it has an ok story line. I might just pick it up to see what been changed whats new and how the "New system" plays out. I wish they would come out with games similar to the older games, but if SE put work in the game and are comming up with fresh ideals. I have faith that there must be some aspect of the game thats worth tring, if not for the story or the gameplay then just the new ideals.

The battle system is in real time now, which means you wont take turns slapping each other. I absolutely hate turn based battle systems, and it was the only bad thing about previous final fantasy's. I myself am very pleased that they are changing the battle system. They cant make it any worse, right? I mean what's more boring than taking turns hitting each other?

I've been looking at screen shots, and I downloaded a trailer a while back, and I think this game looks absolutely awesome. I can't wait to get it.

I actually kind of liked the battle system for X-2, its kind of real time ( in a way) but its still turn based.

If you havent played heres an example:

Rikku and Yuna can attack someone at the exact same second that Pain is beng attacked.

Me personally have no problem with this, i slightly like the turn based style, i just feel its necessary now with FF games. But i guess a change would be nice.
