If they didn't try to be creative and unique with their systems I have a feeling we'd be sitting here saying "Omg! Why don't they ever upgrade the battle system!?"

There is no winning with people. lol.

they should defenetely go back to the old battle system ie the randomly generated battles. the battle system in 12 i found hard to follow and that is why i have not played it in depth. i did not enjoy it.

I think there should be an option.

Pause:--> Controls :--> Turn Base Or Realtime

The turn system is ok but i reckon that a tales style battle system is more than welcome, at least only in my opinion.

In FFXII there WAS an option for Real-Time or Stop Mode for when selecting abilities. =/.

FFXII used the ATB gauge just as FFVII did just the people are moving in Real-Time, not a big difference. =/.

I perfer the old style because the battle system was so much easier then it is now. I always perfered the turn base battles because there more tactical as the newer versions are intense.

I was thinking the same; if they try anything new, there's a lot people who complain about liking more the old style. If the they stick on the old system, most people complain about there's no creativity or evolution on the battle system.

I like the idea of make FFXIII Versus for te real-time players, and FFXIII for turn-based lovers.

I voted yes... I love the new graphics they are so good, but, I prefer the old style of fighting... after FF10 the series started to lose the FF feel..

I love both styles. The old style is good, just because that's what I came in on, but the newer styles in the current games are just as good.

What do you guys think? Would you like to see Final Fantasy's resort back to the old style or keep the newer type?
Well, considering the graphics back then....the storylines were AWSOME! And since back then, FF had the "best" graphics(like today), I would play for hours!!!!

But now, I actually feel like I'm the character. and with my imagination, i play for even longer than before. the storylines have lost their "original" flare... but I think that's due to the demand of the new consumer. in other words, WE ARE GETTING PICKY!!!!!! hahahah

but yea, when faced the question.. I actually think the NEW FF's are better.. I don't really like playing the old ones anymore. and I CAN"T WAIT FOR 13!!!

-edit-0o0o0o you all are talking about battle systems.. i thought you were comparing 1-6 and 7-13. that's where the old and new line is, IMO.

I used to not like real time battles or the lack of random battles but now, I couldn't imagine playing a game and having random battles. OMG, like in ff8. i used to HATE those random battles.
I prefer AVOIDING battles when I need to. lol
