What does everyone think of the Final Fantasy battle system? I think all the Final Fantasy games were perfect up till X. X-2 battle system is a step in the right direction but still not as good as FF7 ect.

If it is a PSone you have or a PS2 MAKE sure to get Final Fantasy VII (special reserve still have stock i think). Many Final Fantasy Fans such as myself say that this is the best Final Fantasy sso far. You have to see how good the graphics are and the gameplay is breath-taking.
The storyline is absolutely incredible and at one point made my weep slightly. Anyway enough of the review! Please make sure you have the chance to play this gem of a game.

FF7 is SO over-rated.
Not really.
You can't rate something higher than "one of the best games of all time' which it is.

Indeed
Ive been playing FFVII for a week or so now, off and on. I think its great. One of the best games ever. Shame the graphics look dated. But the story and game play are still top notch.
I didnt like the way you sould controll the monsters that you summoned in X, and I wasnt a fan of the sphere grid either. But they always make a change like this in each game to make it a bit different.

I agree with everything i've just read, i hated the sphere grid in X and didn't like controlling the aeons. You've also pointed out the reason for a remake of VII, graphics w***es wont play it, actually stuff them, maybe it shouldn't be remade, bloody serves them right!

Well, yes and no. Yes because everything that's said about it is true, it has superior gameplay, story, and some of the greatest characters ever.
And no because there are some games that can be considered the same , or even better but yet didn't receive so much praise, at least in Europe.

I'm glad someone hates the Sphere Grid as much as i do. I think it makes a mockery of Final Fantasy as an RPG to NOT include the tried and tested leveling up system.
Onto the Aeons:
I think the idea was to make battles make battles more tactical but instead of 'tactics' it just made battles harder because you could only use the 'overdrive' ONCE unless you had a huge amount of HP to get the gauge up. I hope FFXII will be good, it looks similar to FFIX so hopefully if the leveling up and battling are restored to what they were before then thats gonna be great!

It was the music that made 7, Aeries dying wihtout that music would of made it nothing. I still rate 6 over 7 though.

Aye. Aeris' theme still tugs at the heart strings.
*weeples*
Why!? Why godammit, why!?
Ahh ... she probably deserved it.
As for 6 ... nah, didn't really like it at all.
Probably because I played it in 4 or 5 big chunks, several months apart, so kinda forgot what had happened. Dunno ... most people say it's pretty good, but I never really got anything off playing it.
4, though, I enjoyed muchly.
