So... I've been killed while trying to escape because it freezes your characters in place once you've been allowed to retreat. Seems they implemented the same shitty quirk the original game had where you have to stand still until being attacked so that you can escape.

It's a bit irritating when you lose about an hours worth of effort due to a horribly shitty gimmick.

Anyone else hate it with a burning passion? :neomon:
 
hasnt happened to me yet, but it fecking annoys me! i'm standing there and the guy barrages me with bullets! i don't even think they play the damn game after they are done to see the flaws in the system. their testers suck!
 
how DO you escape in the English version? i've not found out how.

The whole battle system isn't as good as the original FF games.

I want turn-based back!!! it worked so damn perfectly. Now when i try to cure myself, i can be dead AS IM CASTING CURE. It sucks.

But other than that, the game is amazing
 
You run to the edge of the battle area until it makes you freeze in place and get hit or possibly die.
 
I've never really attempted to run away or really needed to, all you really need to do is get behind the enemy and hit attack for a critical, or just barrage them with tons of magic from a distance (both usually work) The game isn't exactly had, at the well...hardest of times. Still a brilliant game though :D
 
agree totally

whenever i try and escape i get hit 2-3 times

frikin retarded - dnt mind the lack of turn based

why dint they just put it into the control bar thing that u attack and do spells with in the bottom rest
 
ye you have to run out of the battlefield, and then get hit one time by the monster and then u have escaped, although ive never died trying to escape because i never run when im dying, i usually just heal or die.
 
I don't get hit when I try to escape... but the best way to (almost) always make an easy escape is to drag your enemies to the opposite side and keep dashing against the wall. Not only wil you escape faster, but the enemies will take longer to reach you, and attack you, :) (Of course you need the dash materia for that, :P)

EDIT: By the way, instead of trying to escape, try to not eneter battles if that's the idea, you know exactly where "random" battles occur due to the area being wider and usually rounded or squared, just hug the correct wall and you'll almost always avoiding unwanted battles, :)
 
I tried escaping once, but nothing was happening. So I figured I was doing it wrong...but I see what you mean now. I'll try again as I can really use the escape feature sometimes. It's shitty though...why couldn't it just be a command? -_- Makes it much more easier that way.
 
Never retreat, never surrender, escape is for pussies (well not really).

So it freezes your character in place after you are able to retreat? this is interesting. But in the first place, as a rule in all RPG's, DO NOT GO to places wherein you will be hacked at and slaughtered. If ever you do need to go to that place, levelling up must take place first. Whether you like it or not, there are no heroes in RPGs who jump straight into the tough monsters and win. Hardwork and patience is the key.
 
you cant run away from bosses so i just dont run away. the toughest boss thouh i think is Minerva even though i deafeted at level 89

There are heroes, :wacky: like me, :)

I mean, I always tried to do that, evading the ones that could kill me easily, and killing the ones after those, usually way easier, :P

89!!!?!??? I believe I did it way before 89, like 80 or something, XD
 
I never used the escape function. Although sometimes I have wanted to and didn't want to fight. But I always decided to just stay there and go through the fights. And I never knew how the escape function worked either.
 
I just now finished the game and I only escaped twice throughout my gameplay. xD First time was because I wanted to try it out (since I failed at escaping before), and the second time was because I was in a hurry to save my game and couldn't be arsed fighting the monsters.
 
The escape function is stupid, I have died a couple of times as I have been running on the spot against that invisible barrier (and most of the time it's just because Ive been too lazy to fight and I just wanna get on with the mission) You should be able to at least move out of the way of incoming attacks -__-
 
escape function. I dont need no stinking escape function lol. I never use it. I go at it full steam ahead and thanks to my hammer punch and doing 99,999 damage i can kill almost any thing with a few punches.
 
Lol well one tip, You should never try to run from battles, UNLESS you kill it in one hit. If it can kill you, you need more training.
 
I've never really tryed to escape...Because i didn't know you could :P

But tiz annoying when you loose 2 hours of gaming just from a machine with guns. -__-
