FFXII

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

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

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.

Mine is pretty similar but I'm keeping Balthier with ranged weapons (guns right now). Vaan uses a sword and shield as well but is also a good white mage. Ashe is pretty similar to Vaan right now except she has a little green magic mixed in. I spent a lot of points on the grid getting augments and bonuses however.

FFXI was just mentioned cause it really feels like fighting in a MMORPG and that's the closest thing to it. No seperate battles, free roaming, time/turn based attacks and etc.

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

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.

[Carnivore]

Level 40 and I'm obsessed with hunting marks.

[timrpgland]

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.
