... That's not the combat system. Well, the swap-out is, but yeah.

Sphere grid is character customization, which I should point out is quite different in Third Age.

The sphere grid also has nothing to do with the combat system. Like I said, they ripped the combat system.

Yeah, you just have to use a skill OVER AND OVER AND OVER again to learn anything in third age...

I liked FFX battlesystem and all..... Actually ESPECIALLY THE BATTLE SYSTEM.... I like to take my time and strategise.... Hell the character swapping would have been pefect in XXenosaga ep one..... I kinda wish Namco would have learned that with the first Episode....... Rather than whatever the fuck the monstrocity known as the Xenosage Ep 2 Battle system is..... And I still don't understand them getting rid of Shions glasses....


I wish I could be rid of my glasses withou turning into Mr. Magoo just by having someione step on them

the swap-out was done poorly though, and it annoyed me that you only got experience if you did something, as I would often have one character who I wanted to level up, but all the other characters could decimate most monsters before that character could do anything.

Eh. I liked it fine. I'm not one to grind, so I ended up making choices.

I never attacked. I always used one of my character's skills.

Berethor leveled up pretty evenly between Swordcraft and Leadership. Idrial was slanted more towards her magic. Elegost was pretty even. Hadhod was more Axecraft than Magic.

I just didn't use the other two.

That dual-axe chick, Morwen, I think? Yeah, she was a bit of a glass cannon. She could do hella lot of damage, but MAN could she NOT take hits....

I didn't use the spear guy or the archer.

I liked Elegost. Especially since he had a two-target attack in a game that was in sore need of multi-target attacks.

Heheh... I liked the last Nazgul fights.

Aragorn calls dead! Berethor sumons Idrial to take his turn! Idrial takes HER turn, and ends up using the water horses TWICE in a row! Elegost hits two Nazgul.

Repeat, and they're all dead.

I like turn-based battles...

You're never sitting there waiting for some stupid bar to fill up, and it actually goes much faster.

*resists the urge to advertise SO3 more*

That said, I prefer turn-based. Actually getting a chance to THINK is nice, but it's also nice when fast characters actually GO more often...

Okay, Advance Wars? You know I love you man, but for god's sake, you are on FUCKING CRACK.

How in the world does having control of a bunch of Com Towers make tiny litte infantrymen IMMUNE TO GUNS, MISSILES, and TANKS!?

It makes NO FUCKING SENSE.

I liked ATB in CT, because the bars filled up so fast that it was almost LIKE Turn-based.

But it was more hectic.

And, yesyes, Star Ocean. I have no Playstation 2.

Not to mention that I'd probably like to know the plots to the previous two games, if they relate directly.

They don't relate directly. And I am sorry for bringing the game up again. <.<;;;

You are aware that blocking counts as an action, aren't you?
