That's annoyingly pointless. About 90% of the time, the battles are easily avoidable just by walking around the edge of those areas. Which makes the whole idea of it a bit irrelevant really.

I agree... The battle system / way of encountering a battle is repetitive, annoying and easy. There is never a challenge even in the fight. All you have to do is roll behind the enemy and continue to hammer the x button until it drops dead. The only fight I've felt challenged in so far is with Bahamut Fury when he gets out of range and you can't roll behind him.

Also.. The missions are painfully repetitive... I say to myself each time I go into the mission "hmm.. I wonder which of the 5-10 standard maps they'll throw me into this time", and "hmm... I wonder how many enemys I will have to fight in the usual and repetitive manner"...

But realy, I'm glad this is a spin off. I can cope with it in that respect. But if this style ever creeps into the main game series then this series realy is doomed and would seem to have lost most of what made FF's good.

It'd be a decent system to actually use in a full-length game, but it needs more work. Like losing the randomness of the DMW, and having challenging battles. A bit more variety in the maps wouldn't go amiss either. Sort that out, and it's a system worth using.

The battle system i actually loved, I liked FF7;s better but i give this a 8/10, the good things but i are, its extremely easy to dodge enemy magic, except cutscene attacks, dnt kno if this is part of this but I LOVE how you can get 99999 HP and do 99999 damage

Im not a fan of real battle and this system was different, but it just wasnt for me. I cant be torn from my old turn based games and this just didnt sratch the gaming itch.

The battle system was definately something new and different, which I give SE props for. That said, I got quite annoyed hearing "entering combat mode" over and over, and I got very bored of how repetitive every battle was =/ Hack and slash a little here, use a little magic here, and yay! You've won!

What I really did like about the new battle system though was the DMW. It really did help me out in battles, despite the fact that I never knew what it was going to do. So overall, the battle system was ok imo. It's definately not my favorite, but it wasn't just awful either.

I love this game. It's good to get a change from the usual turn based system. Also, the levelling is not as random as it seems. Each of the monsters you fight does have EXP points allocated to it and although you don't see it, the game does have an EXP counter for levelling purposes.

I do agree the missions are kind of repetitive though. Would like to have seem some more maps.

I love...it.

But the whole 'Battle thing' then 'conflict resolved' gets annoying.

I love this battle system a lot! It's really fun, makes battles more dynamic and, IMO it also immerses you more into the game. You gotta be ready to dodge/block an enemy's attack while at the same time you're trying to land a few blows on that very same enemy. It's quite fun! And the D.M.W. sure helps a lot! Has saved my ass (or well, Zack's xD) more than a couple of times! So yeah! D.M.W. ftw! ^^
