I absolutly HATE the battle system in this game

Honestly, I loved the Gambits in this system. Yeah, it made things easier, but it also made everything different. ya know? I liked the Real-Time ATB gauge.

Gambits are not liked, why? They helped sooooo much. If your party leader is Basch and you were attacking a fiend, then Penelo dies....without a gambit on the 3rd player for a "Raise" then you'd have to manually switch members and then go over to the 3rd player and THEN cast raise on the fallen member. =/. Would've saved time...

Also, if you don't like gambits....there IS an option to take them off. DO SO! lol. Not that hard. But, come back and tell me when you start using them again. =p.
 
I agree with you Hayate. Gambits are really helpful. Saves time and aggrevation with picking every single action everytime you encounter a battle. That would get really annoying.
 
I loved the battle system so much better than the turn based one,the gambit system was revolutionary and overall its way more realistic.
 
I LOVE the battle system in XII. The Gambits are extremely useful and the active battle system is a huge improvement from X. That's the main reason I prefer it over X.
 
The Gambit battling system is one of the most creative I've seen in almost all games. It's genious. You can literally kick back and take a nap and you characters will have defeated a boss. The system is a little tricky at first. But when you have an array of gambits to choose from, it's epic.

And. Uhm, you can turn the gambits off if you don't like them so much...

You'll get used to it. It's just a different way to play. They were trying to be innovative and it worked i for one grew tired of the random encounters lol

I agree the gambits once you get them all allow you to basically let the game play itself. Sometimes in the heat of battle its hard to micro manage every little thing thats going on. I love the gambit system when hp is less than 30 no need to do it manually the characters will do it themselves. You can go make some ramen or order a pizza and not have to worry about your seeing a game over screen. Gotta love the brilliance at Sqaure Enix
 
I need to do some epic back peddling :wacky:

I now ratehr like....possibly even love the battle system in this game...it's so convienient. First time I played i was clueless - I sucked at gambits til right near the end of the game before I got. So my new playthrough has just flowed so easily. I'm still a firm fan of the old battle system, but now I can appreciate XII's at long last.
 
The FFXII system feels really good once you get into a rhythm. The gambits can make things run a lot more smoothly; rather than having to use Curaga every five seconds you can set it to happen automatically.

The one thing that is lost with this is... hmm, can't really think of anything, except for random encounters which are annoying anyway!
