    That's a strange reason for not liking real time fighting. It seems to me that if anything, turn-based would appear to be more "boring" since you're not actively fighting something, just taking your sweet time to issue a command and then it's performed for you. You say that in real time fighting, it forces you to master fighting, but can't the same be said about turn-based? I'm not trying to be an ass or anything (I actually prefer turn-based as well ) - I'm just a little confused with your post.

    You just confused me about my own post now, I'll try to clear it up rofl.

    Turn based is obviously the original style in most cases, I love it and would love more of it.
    Real time fighting is great, I don't mind pressing directional commands to use skills and bringing up a menu every few seconds to cast spells and use items, I just don't like how incredibly difficult it is to progress in the game without being great based on combo's and what not to gain better titles and make the game more enjoyable.

    Basically it's fun, but it sucks at the same time. I love ALL Tales games, characters are great, story is great, everything about the games are so interesting but how much effort it requires you to be good at the fighting turns me off from playing. I've seen hundreds of videos with people combo'ing the hell out of monsters in the hundreds with ease and unlocking titles like it was a joke, I just really couldn't do it as hard as I tried and it pisses me off cause if there's one thing I love to do is play games. Oh well, maybe I'll try picking up where I left off in Tales or Valkyrie and see what happens cause until I get good at comboing and being able to time CPU attacks and spells and crap no future games of the sort will be fun for me.


    ps. The series died after 9 for me. 9 was a blast, and really kept the fantasy aspect of the game intact.

      Re: Final Fantasy 13

      I know this is a really outdated thread since the game's been out for a year now...but honestly, this is one of the best Final Fantasy games out there (and I've played through all of them except V and VIII)

      Sure, the battle system is a huge turn from the turn based/atb system that I'm used to...but the paradigm system is so fresh, and it's actually pretty fun to use too. I haven't beat the game yet though, and one thing I fear is that all the characters in the game will be carbon copies of each other like they were in XII. Still...this is my favorite FF game to this date.

      I don't get why people hate it so much. Yeah, the story is a little bland, but let's face it: When you've done so many games for one franchise, you can't really help but write the same "save the world" plot with a few variations. Shouldn't discourage anyone from enjoying it.

      So um...post reviews/critiques? lol

        I like this paradigm system better than FF10's sphere grid system, just because it requires more strategy to play one specific class rather than having everything, but the story is a little bland as you said it.

            FF11's battle and party system is what brought the battle system in 12 and 13

              I've seen my brother play this game and it was vastly different from any kind of rpg battle system I've ever seen. It still looks entertaining so if I ever got around to it I would probably try it out.

              I've also heard that they are making a Final Fantasy XIV-2... Is this true?

                  My mistake, I did mean 13. That doesn't really answer whether there really is a 13-2 or not.

                    Re: Final Fantasy 13

                    Sorry to say but I didn't think FFXIII was a good game because::

                    1.) The plot was very dull

                    2.) Most of the people like it because it's on PS3 or Xbox 360 and they think graphics will get it attention as a game.

                    3.) Unlike FFXII, there's no choice of picking a different weapon in the game. Everyone have their own weapon and needed to upgrade from there.

                    But there's improvements I seen so far.

                    1.) They finally fix the experience system from FFX and FFXII (although you need licence points for FFXII and it's very hard to get the licence that you need to beat the game.)

                    2.) The battle system was amazing to see and I like it fast paced. I don't understand why some people complained about this? It was a optional in FFXII and some people enjoyed it that way.

                    3.) The challenges was pretty decent to me. (in my opinion)

                    After FFVII and FFVIII came out, I gave up keeping up with it and I'm not even going to bother with FXIV.

                    I'm just saying what I have in mind about this game.

                      yes, there is, it was shown at e3 a few days ago


                      also, i'm playing this game right now and i don't get why there's so many mixed reviews, i personally love this game, i find the paradgim system fun and the crystarium to be a really good idea. gj square enix


                      definitely gonna get 13-2

                          Re: Final Fantasy 13

                          Was pretty fun overall. The characters were immensely more lovable than the ones in FFXII. The art and graphics were really impressing. Music was pretty good too even though I found out that most of the times, it's just the same theme over and over with slight variations lol. Also, the fighting system was pretty neat. It was fresh and fun.

                          What I did hate though is the fact that the game made me walk through linear corridors for 30 hours. Pulse was fun at least. I think that the only good things FFXII did well was the license mechanics and the it's open world. Put the FFXII open world into FFXIII and it would have been great.

                          Final boss was a pain in the ass. I mean seriously. I spent 2 hours on it.

                          Odin was though too lol

                              I would love to say something about FFXIII, but I have not played it on account of I don't trust any FF game after the tenth one.
                              So I've returned. Maybe I can stick around for awhile.
