Random battles in Final Fantasy

[QUOTE="fs_metal"]No. I am saying random battles suck and they need to be gotten rid of foreverSony_FanBoy

yeah you are right!!

many others feel differently, and still like the random battle system. If that is the case, then there is no reason to get rid of it.

If there is still people out there that want it, then it will be still around, it doesn't matter if it may be outdated or not. It will still be around if a majority of the people want it.

Ok, "dude". Where's this majority you're talking about? I liked FF XII, not because it did or didn't have random battles, but because it had a decent story and like 4 characters that I liked. The battle system was cool, I liked it. But if it had random battles, I'd still buy it and still would have had a good time with it. I don't have a problem with the either one.

You guys do realize that when you click the Quote button you can delete all but the last post you actually want to quote instead of making the thread big and hard to read by re-posting everything again, don't you???

Anyways, I know I already said that I like random battles, and I still do, but I've been thinking about things and rolling them around in the back of my head and XII had the right idea. It did bring change to the tried-and-true equation of the past and in a way, it's part of the reason I really enjoyed XII. I still like the random battles too, but change can be good. I was reading that the battle system of XIII will be similar to XII in that there are no random battles.

This brings me great pain to actually say this, but fs_metal has a point. WoW and Diablo and others big titles are very successful without having random battles. It's partially by the design of the game (MMO-RPG and hack-n-slash-RPG vs traditional-RPG) but it's close enough to justify a comparison.

If all new RPG games go towards non-random battles, I'd be perfectly okay with that. Unlike other's who are stuck in their ways and believe what they believe should be what everyone else believes and that all other ideas are foolish and what they see as truth is written in stone and cannot be changed, I'm willing to accept the ideas of others and accept change for the future. I'm willing to change my ideas and accept that what I know about a topic may not the correct and learn from it and move on instead of dragging on and on with no forward progression. Also, I know that if I feel the need for random battles, I have 10+ older Final Fantasy games available to me.

I fully support change, and i liked XII's gameplay.

But at the same time, I liked random battles, and wouldn't mind seeing them in any other games. I wouldn't want to see them again in the main series of FF, since FF is now on the road of change, but maybe Square or other comapnies could make games that use the random battle system for people like me that still really appreciate, and also make games with different, more unique systems, for those that want change.

I really am fine either way...

some of my friends do not like FF series because of random battles:(mfouad

Well it's there loss. :P

I can't stand it anymore! Someone break the tie, for goodness sake!lo_Reaper_ol

Yeah, it's 9-9. Since the last choice is for either one. I added those points to both. So 9-9 instead of 6-6-3.

going by that, the score would be 10-10, I just voted for either today.

If Random battles were never in another game ever again, it would not make me angry. It wouldn't even bother me a bit.vornwrath

same here, but if they still remained, I would not get angry at it either. I'm more concerned that whatever battle system is fun and entertaining.

I chose either. Both are fun. Period.

Yeah, same here. It's hard to hit that sweet spot, but I've played games that did it right.

That's why i like random battles. The feeling of surprise is always there.

However, I don't want to make an impression that I hate non-random battles. Just don't make it like a hack n' slash game like Diablo and Champions of Norrath, an RPG with non-random battle system will be very enjoyable to me.
