Oof ouch, ya got me good there with that one. How will I ever recover. It's cool you wanna live in the past and embrace what you're safe and comfortable with while the world passes you by because the new is scary and difficult to adjust to.

If you're going to act like a high and mighty autist about an incredibly basic combat system I am going to bring up just how much of an autist you are. Bet.

Like that time you, a rough approximation of a man, pretended to be a pregnant girl on the internet to get free stuff.

Because I got so much free stuff that I worked for myself-- pretending to be something I wasn't because at a time in my life I wasn't comfortable with who and what I was. Moved beyond that and am in a much better place mentally and physically.

If the system is basic at its presentation but there is a fair amount of depth to be explored during boss battles where the game shines, otherwise it could just be a hack and slash adventure as you move from point A to point B, get a new big weapon that you use instead of what you were using.

You know your words remind a lot of the kind of people that I work with, the kind of people that complain that they have no room to improve, go forward and advance themselves because they don't want to do anything beyond what they're doing, they want it just handed to them. Meanwhile I'll just step right on you and go onto whatever is next and your constant howls of the past are just fallen on deaf ears.

Imagine thinking creating a huge if else statement is a fun and engaging combat system that auto executes itself.

This is a fantastic point to direct at me, specifically. Thanks bud.

lmfao

this back and forth is way more entertaining than the majority of this game

[Xno Kappa]

There were maybe 3 fights in the entire game where I had to think beyond mashing Square and spamming abilities when the ATB gauge filled up lol. The rest of the time was spent directing my brain dead allies to not get killed.

I would love it if in the next installments they add more materia like Quad Cut and Slash All, they could add a bunch of stuff that gives you more combat options. If necessary make it like Provoke, where if you're controlling the character it doesn't work. Just let me juice up the AI a little.

Or just give me gambits.

Imagine having the stance of "lol gambits are for smoothbrain simps" but in reality coming up with a Gambit setup that works to fight some of the hardest bosses in the game took the same level of understanding of the game's battle system and the boss fight itself as doing it manually.

Only difference being you programmed that understanding into the AI so you didn't have to press extra buttons.

But sure, let's pretend like sitting there for 12+ hours mashing the same buttons over and over to beat Yiazmat instead of setting up your team to do it themselves while you were asleep was some kind of incredible feat of skill and bravery. Fucking lol.

I like how this went from "I don't like the game vs I do like the game" straight to "let's relive the most embarrassing parts of your life you single chromosome simp" in only a few posts. We are the worst lmao

[Prothescar]

I would argue that most ppl in this thread have too many chromosomes rather than too few

It wouldn't be an FF game if people weren't arguing over the dumbest shit

FFVIIR combat system was good for an action RPG and fun, but I believe FF and overall JRPG battle systems peaked at FFXII, especially the Zodiac Age version. around 14 years have passed since I played the game and still recall it with very, very good memories.

That said, I also truly enjoyed FFVIIR as well and feel it was such a fresh, alternative approach. I felt It wasn't challenging at all, I didn't feel the need to think strategically; died only a handful times, with 1 being against a random rat (lol), one against a boss and the rest in the final bike scene but found the game overall enjoyable.

A job and a battle system like FFXII might've been too heavy for a game like FFVIIR. Remake never meant to be a bold attempt like XII, it actually tried to satisfy all parties; newcomers, hardcore gamers, younger generation...they just didn't want to repel anybody. They kept returning players engaged with a fresh approach, and introduced the game to the new generation with high production values, fast gameplay and low difficulty.

[Prothescar]

Still think X-2's combat system was on point. Job system was impactful and it gave just enough customization to matter.

7R's combat system would be fine with some tweaks to the stagger system and more meaningful materia variety. The materia and weapon systems effectively are the job system for 7R.

[Gokulo]

Yep, I'm very fond of X-2 battle and job systems too.

[Xno Kappa]

You motherfuckas really making me wanting to play ff12 after like 10+ years.

That game always drops off at the giant desert rigs for me

X-2 combat is great. Recently replayed it. Story sucks balls, but gameplay is nice. Difficulty is quite low for main story though. I got no-encounters as soon as chapter 1 started, and the game was still a cakewalk. It was permanently on.

I actually love this area. When I was younger, it was my goto grind spot for early game. Thought the area looked really cool, and the midgets reminded me of Star Wars. Traversing it completely could be kind of annoying though.

That's because XII is Star Wars. Balthier & Fran = Han and Chewie, Ashe = Princess Leia, Basch = Obi Wan, and Vaan = Jar Jar.

Vaan = Captain Basch.

Don’t believe Melena’s lies.
