Huh.

Actually... I like what I'm hearing...

If it weren't for the fact that the rest of what I've heard/seen about the game scares the bejeezus outta me.

edit: The character designs are absolute garbage...

Well, it's better than yet ANOTHER line-up generic RPG battle system... *shrug* They were starting to annoy me, really.

But yes, you're probably right. :P

That's actually one of the reasons I didn't like Star Ocean.

I mean, I expect a certain type of battle system in certain games. In Final fantasy games, I expect the lined up quasi-turn based style combat. I didn't like how FFX did things and this seems even worse.

I mean, for other games it could work, but not Final fantasy. It goes too much against the grain.

If anything, I'm going to get it so I can have at least one copy of every numbered Final Fantasy. All I'm missing is III, which will be out on the DS sometime.

Yeah, outrage from the traditionalists will be the biggest problem with it. Or maybe enough of them played FFXI that it won't be, I dunno.

Personally, I never liked the traditional battle system of the FF series, so I'm less than heartbroken. :P

I dunno, I think the combat system looks interesting.
then again, traditional rpgs can't hold my attention much past the 25 hour mark...

I'm far more of the action-rpg type...
and MFD, you said something about another game I a few pages back I really wanted to reply too, but I"m too muzzy to remember and too tired to go back....

... Either MGS or From Russia With Love, I think.

Also, I hatehateHATE the Greater Guardian in Eternal Darkness. Stupid small range on Magickal Attack... stupid three-zombie summon... thank GOD online had the trick for that form (immediately after the cutscene beginning the form: pause, drink a gulp of Magic Elixir, and cast a Seven-point Magickal Attack under the Mantorok alignment. Peter finishes casting as the Guardian begins glowing.)

Yes, I have recently decided that I ought to finish the third alignment. Just completed Edward's chapter. I love his double-barreled sawed-off shotgun. But not as much as the Enchanted Gladius.

I just recently beat the game for the first time. I had a nasty time with the last boss. He'd keep striking me right after I transformed into the ghosts.

Yeah, you need to run around alot, and hit him on the fly. I think Brother Paul is the slowest ghost, but I'm not sure.

So, SCIII... Chronicle 20, the last one.. IMPOSSIBLE. You have to get through a line of fights with the best AI warriors yet, and, unlike the previous chronicles, if your guys go down, they're down for good. No healing, so the more you get hit in battle the more screwed you are, and the king is just.. God-like in skill. >< Never been so angry at a game...

Okay, the ending to Path of Neo is just friggin' hysterical. I won't spoil anything, but it's basically a big middle finger by the Wachowski brothers to everyone who thought the original ending was stupid.

I've had my eye on this one for a while.

So tell me, how was the fighting with a bunch of Smiths? Or did you somehow not do that part because of a change in story?

Me want game me want game me want game.

...It's kinda starting to sound a bit like End of Evangalion though...

It was freaking amazing. Fighting the army of Smiths is probably my favorite part in the game.
