i dont think they should, i think they should experiment with real time action/ turn based because i enjoyed picking the fights i wanted on 12, which was pretty much all of them, but maybe in one of the up coming games make it full turnbased.

but as i say this , looking at the 13 trailer and the screenshots, the battle system looks superb

I really dont know, I still like the old way, even do i have mixed reactions on this fact,. But even do i like the old way, im not sure if they have to come back. I agree with Link in the fact that they have to try a new real action system, maybe better than FFXII, because at some point it was all about gambits and the action started to decrease, ...mmm .lets see FFXIII though

Even if that trailer was CG it doesn't stop them think of what could be

You've seen graphic the last few years, i mean yeah 12 didn't have gears of war graphics, but the game is based on size and story, it would of been hard to do stuff at that specific time of gaming, with the blue-ray discs, and pre renders graphic such as motor storm (great graphical work) the possibilities of this soo called cg trailer could actually become the thing that we would want most, The Actual ingame graphic and/or battle system which is to come forward from the battle systems which have already been made such as 12 (im not sure about 11, ive never seen the online ingame battle system)

but we can all hope that it does rock, and i think i can safely say it will, go action based battle fratifactional systems

I honestly don't care. I like the old battle system and am extremely used to it, and XII'swas good once I got used to it. But I also don't mind change, and would be willing to try to open up to something new. What they could do is have a system's like Chrono Trigger, where you have the same battle system, yet can still avoid battle if you wish, that would be pretty cool.

I do prefer the new battle system, without the random battles. However i hope in FFXIII they expand the story element of the game more than in FFXII which i thought was lacking. I also missed the in battle chats of FFX & FFX-2. I also would like to see more cities in the new game, which was restricted in FFXII because of the need for wide open plains. Anyway i'd be happy with either system. 'Rant Over' =]

Thanks, With the new graphics cababilites imagine how cool they could be. I also hope in the next FF you are able to make any character have any job rather than being restricted to for example vivi bein a black mage. Also bring back normal Limit Breaks or Overdrives !!

Not necessarily, for example in the pharos while fighting the fish boss, if you casted oil then firaga it was deadly, plus it had uses against other enimies too but i agree it wasn't as important as it is in other games. I also want the old inventory back so i can use items on the menu screen && bring back gettting gill without loot !!

The only time I used black magic was when an enemy used a barrier to become invincible to physical attacks.

Belias was pretty helpful for me at the beginning of the game, but other than that, they weren't that wonderful. I found that quickenings were much more effective. The only reason I collected all 13 espers was so I could have the honor of saying I did.

I liked the older one more as well, since it's the one I grew up with, and I'm a big fan of nolstalgia! But again, I did like XII's and I am always open to change as long as it is fun.

I much prefer the original battle system, I just think that it embodied everything that final fantasy stood for as it is a role playing game and not a 3rd person shot em up. So I think that the old battle system worked so much better with in-keeping to the games genre and also, the battle system set final fantasy out as something different because no other game was using the same system.

Iliked ffx's battle system the most. I loved controlling the Aeons, and seeing the sequence of attacks. It was my favorite of the series.
