FF12 could have had the exact same multiplayer system that games like Tlaes of Symphonia (or Abyss) had, and been the exact same game but more fun. Those basically did what Xav wants, and that is 1st player controls EVERYTHING outside of battle pretty much, but other people can join in during the fights as whichever character they want. They totally could have done that for 12...but I don't really mind one way or the other.

And Elcura, FF9 is my most favorite game in the entire universe, and I love how you keep pointing out how good it is/how they did things right.

Also, I was thinking about this. In FF10 if you want all your characters to have the same sphere grid you need to work for it. Since you NEED locks to get to certain parts, and like a LEVEL 3 SPHERE GRID MARKER thingy to unlock certain things, that meant you had to go to places and farm for them for sometimes hours just to get 1 little thing. It took work. Unlike in FF12 where all you have to do is buy 6 TPx2 trinkets or whatever and just go to an easy zone and put your lazymode gambits on for 20 minutes in order to get like 400 TP. To use in the exact same spots on all your characters.

Yeah you don't HAVE to put the shit in the same spot, but why wouldn't you get +HP for each character, and more STR for each character etc.?

FF9 also happens to be my favourite as well. If for anything it was because the characters were unique inside a battle and out.

Otherwise, I do agree with what you said, it did take work to customize the sphere grid, and surely a lot more could've been done to make each character unique, the main way would've been to make each character's sphere grid different. give them all different skills/magicks/augments etc. Of course, XII took long enough to come out, doing something like that would've taken it longer, XII was rushed hardcore in the story and someplaces the gameplay too.

Ya it was definetely rushed. They had alot of work to put into it, but I think this only confirms that 13 will be a much better system and will fix all the flaws, and hopefully provide a better, more FF-like, story >.>

well not a couple month old but old indeed

see first pic of front cover of the megazine: 1/26/2007

and the megazine is a chinese translation of a jap megazine, so that makes it like 2 weeks to a month older than the jap issue

Dunno if any of you guys noticed... but the battle planner/designer of FF10 is the head of FF13's new battle system.

Just knowing that makes me wanna dribble in my pants....

What is this dribble in pants you speak of? I'm not gonna say I hated FFX, afterall.. it's one of the only things I liked about the game, heh.

Premature Ejectulation dribble.... very high expectations.

Nice.

And what's with the lag on the forums? is there a maintenance on FFXI or something?
