Because they want it to sell to many people. Sure, it's going to be alright with the FANS of the game; they'll lap it all up. What the real problem is, they'll butcher it by trying to marketing it to broader audience . The way I see it, it has lots of downs: first is the rated T. It will affect the story line and the fun or the tragic part of the game. Second, it'll attract a lot of people getting the wrong idea of the plot. If it's nothing major, then I don't mind eating my words, but if there's another stupid retcon like that Accent Core (I seem to remember Zack dying in that power plant, not some other place) it's going to ruin a lot of things for the fan.Blitzwing said:
Final Fantasy XIII-2 Screens Show New Character, Similar Battle System
- Thread starter Tom Goldman
- Start date
That's a pretty plausible claim. However, keep in mind I only mentioned FF7 once in my argument. Also I like to tell you I prefer Kingdom Hearts to Final Fantasy; and Mega Man to KH, but that's not the point. as well, I CAPS the word "main" for a reason. every other game that SE made in recent years that were only indirectly connected to FF was pretty rocking.MattAn24 said:
And you don't have to explain how Auto-battle works to me, I really could care less about anything related to FF13; the issue was that SE put said mode into the sequel as a way to say "we know the battle system is STILL too automatic, so we'll keep it that way". people are complaining about the battle system being terrible in FF13-2 BECAUSE its going down the same path as its predecessor.
P.S. Have you seen my username and any of my comments? I'm a Mega Man fanboy, not an FF one!
I have two requests about the battle system before I even consider buying/wasting money on this game.
1) If the person you're controlling dies and at least one other active party member is still alive - DO NOT TELL ME IT'S A GAME OVER!
2) Don't make every single minor "trash mob" battle last ten bloody minutes to slog through.

FF XIII-2 ... worst naming system since the dawn of time
This would be a perfect opportunity to try my western Final Fantasy idea (active combat + one western character to mock them) but the only ones who will really buy FF are the fans who would never admit the game is anything but perfect.
I guess we have come to an impasse where FF will not evolve and is closing itself into a niche market, but that can still work until the old fans start dieing off.

What feature in this game is "unanimously acknowledged as a terrible flaw."? By what authority? I mean if you feel that way about a game, fine, voice that opinion but don't speak for everyone else and then treat it as fact, it's simply not true. A lot of people here so far have spoken up for the battle system. I think it's great. I've owned many Final Fantasy's over the years but it looks like XIII will end up as a favorite and the great Paradigm system is one of the reasons, the way you build your own weapons and equipment is another, and I love the story and great characters. You didn't like it, sorry. That doesn't make you auto-right or give you the right to speak for the valid opinions of others though.megaman24681012 said:
You also assume that "everyone and their cat" would buy FFVII if remade. Not true, unless there was a drastic story change I would give it the miss for the same reason I didn't finish it. See? Just because you say it's everybody, it really never is everybody, assumptive agreements are just a weak way to argue and lead the reader to believe your point since y'know everybody else does. Except that they don't.
Oh. Just one more thing? Yeah, to ANYone who says they beat FFXIII with ONE button imput and to those who also say that FFXIII is nothing more that a corridor?? You. Lie. So knock it off.
so it's still going to be the same linear gamer as before, just with more characters? -sigh- They said that it would take too much time for an FF remake yet they continuously spawn sequels and spin-off's...
My favorite team is Lightning, Fang, and Vanille, she's an awesome medic, Hope I can't stand even though he's also a good medic. I will say the battles do end the same for most of them, except for the Titan Trials, I found I was switching my team up a lot more often. I do think about the up and coming battle a lot too, I try to find the fastest way to get rid of them without making it painful. Sometimes I couldn't avoid it though...KaWHY deSHOE said:
the battle system could have been good if you could actually move your characters around in it, also the leader down thing.
One thing that i felt made the game a bit boring were the lackluster soundeffects.

Picture 2 : "Save it for later. You can Fight Can't you?"
Serah : "Dude it's Final Fantasy game. Nearly everyone from teenage girls to 12 year old kids can fight." XD lol, well that's what came to my mind first.

I thought the same thing.RougeWaveform said:
Maybe we're on to something.
Also, fuck this game. I hated that battle system, and keeping it is a terrible choice. If it weren't for having to walk down pretty corridors, the game would literally play itself.
I hated the battle system in FFXIII. My favourite battle system was always the one in X or IV...But since I'm hooked on FF I'll still get it (begrudingly) and I'll finish it. I wish Square Enix wouldn't abuse their power over me too much though.
Personally, I thought the battle system was the only good thing about Final Fantasy XIII apart from the story, so I'm happy it's similar.
Shame that this sequel is going to fail. Why keep a garbage battle system? Why can't they make a battle system on par with the likes of Legend of Dragoon, Xenogears, or Grandia? It's like people enjoy learning from mistakes and keep on making them.
This sequel is a mistake. FF13 was a mistake. Not focusing on Versus XIII more is a mistake.
Hurry up with the good FFXIII game!

You are totally right. Of course since I can get a five star rating nearly every battle with just pressing auto-battle, why would I waste my time picking out skill - attack - attack - attack?MattAn24 said:Simple. Don't ever press that button. OMFG PROBREM SOLVED!!!Pots said:It's ONE battle screenshot. How the fuck do you know if there's an option in the settings to TURN IT OFF.
People said the same thing with Oblivion's fast travel system "just don't use it" but everyone used it.
