Cool. I am still not that far. Level 29 now. I will be obsessing about marks soon enough but I've left most up to this point. I like that this is one of those games where the more you play, the more you like it. |

How far is everyone (without ruining it)? I have about 19 hours in and am levels 24 through 19. Need to put in some hefty hours in this week. |

Edit: Just realized I guess you could also compare it (on some levels) to KOTOR's combat. |

kahljorn | i was under the impression it was supposed to be similar to vagrant story, but then I'm not sure. | ||||

Dr. Boogie | Is the combat similar to any non-FF games? I haven't played any since 7. | ||||

The combat is like FFXI if you've ever played that. More action oriented but still time/turn based. The leveling system is kind of like the grid system. So you level up normally and gain stats but you also get License Points along with experience. The License Points are used to get skills, stat mods, ability to use weapons, armor and items, etc. It works well enough. |

Anyhoo, I'm curious as to how the experience and leveling system works. Any changes there? |

Dude! Haven't you ever played Pitfall? That's some deep shit right there man. Anyways, is this game accesible for people who don't really play turn-based RPG's then. From what I've read about the Gambit system it seems more action oriented rather than turn based. Then again, that's based solely on forum chat from fanboys and a review I've read. |

Storyline is fine, but when you focus on it more then gameplay, that's a bad thing. The only games that are even allowed to get away with bad gameplay, but good storyline, are Adventure games. I think I forgot to mention Western RPG's like Fable are all right. Since they focus on the gameplay first. |

Grislygus | Because it's a Japanese game franchise. They do that. | ||||

RaNkeri | I'm slightly cautious over FF XII, since personaly I think that all the FFs that have been published after VII have been major disappointments. (Except IX, which was ok). And, I doupt that I'll ever buy PS2 or PS3, so I pretty much have to wait for my friend to buy one | ||||

i picked this up a few days ago. the combat is wonderful, not turn based anymore. im not for sure they should have called it final fantasy, and it might as well be a completely new game franchise. what is your team like tim? i have vaan as a warrior type with sword and shield. baltheir or however the fuck you spell his name i give 2 handed weapons to and he manages to kill everything in his path. ashe is my white/black/green/time/arcane mage. |

Ignore Zen444. He's trying to 'stand out', as usual. Well, I played through the first disk of FFIX, so I naturally ignored the next two. However, the tactics system has me intrigued, because it worked so well in games like Dragon Warrior 4. I'd really like to see how Final Fantasy goes about it. |

The gambit system is used to assign tactics to your other party members without having to assign individual tasks to them. It's pretty decent actually and you get different types of gambits that allow them to do different things on their own. Quote:

Because for some people, storyline = fun. These are typically the same people who read these things called "books." For example, to me, games like Guild Wars and WoW that have no story to speak of are not fun. But games like FFs 1-7 are fun because they have a story. So shut up. |

But I knew FF would destroy gameplay in general. To you fags, it works like this: Storyline > Fun. When in reality, it is Fun > Storyline. So why the fuck do you idiots eat this shit up? |

adept_ninja | Would you say it is worth to throw down $50 for it or should I wait till it goes to the bargain bin? | ||||
