im not used to this type of battle system but other then the fact that it takes for ever to get to items when your trying to defend and not get hit i think its an ok battle system some what of a pain but im up for new things also weres cloud i have yet to see cloud wtf lol let me no what you think

XD I know, wtf is Cloud!?

the battle system has its annoying moments, but I find more realistic, see as in a real fight no one just stands there and calls out their attack. can you imagine, though

?

Ooooo I love the battle system! I kept hearing that it was very Kingdom Hearts style before I actually got to play it...but I don't think so...

It was really hard to get adjusted to at first...what with switching between commands with L1 and R1...I'm getting better though! And it's really fun! This battle system hit the spot for me!

The ONLY complaint that I have is that the summon scenes are WAYYYYY too long!!! O_o

it hit the spot for me too once i got used to it now im kicking ass and having a blast i cant believe xplay gave it a 2 out of 5 wtf they need to learn what a real game is and real games arent made for the xbox lol personnally i give this game a 9/10 cuz the leveling up system is well crappy so far thats the only flaw of course im still not that far ive just been doing missions not that far in the story yet well ill c you all later

finally ran into Cloud. It's when you least expect it.

So, yeah, using the summons is a huge pain. so far i only used Bahamut once, and Cactuar three times. and leveling up is stupid, despite the fact i lvl'd up twice in two battles

You can use summons when you want?
Can you? That would be helpful...so far I only get to use summons when the unreliable slots tell me I can...X__x

Yeah the only complaint would be the super long summons, and yes...the horrible leveling up system...
I've basically just spent 5 hours running around in circles in battle, waiting for the slots to give me a chance at leveling up...UUGHHHH.

um, no, you cant use the summon's when you want. i guess i worded that quite poorly. my bad

You can skip them by pressing X or O.

Well... leveling up isn't as random as most people think it is, according to a user on Gamefaqs. If you just keep fighting tough monsters, you'll eventually level up. I've leveled up four times today, and I'm only just getting started rly.

But I love the battle system, it's a ton of fun compared to the traditional ATB battle system. It's hard to describe just how much I love it.

I leveled up 11 times while I was doing that "Defeat 1000 shinra soldiers" mission, took a good amount of time too.
