The game forums are closing, so i am moving the popular FF forum here. No spamming, just 100% FF. Let's start with a question.... which of the FFs is the best?

the turn based system makes strategise but the real time is fun and challenging
turn based all youneed is power
real time you need skill

That's what I don't like - just slashing away mindlessly. I like strategy and prolonged boss-fights.
It remind me of those really old "RPGs" on PC. Where you were 'the knight' - in first person perspective, walking around boring dungeons and slahing at bugs for about 5 minutes, then again, then again, occasionally getting some money or experience.
Those were the funny days.

I aggree with you Kingdom Hearts' battle system is a nice change from the turn based style but i do find that it can get repititive. Sometimes its just a case of locking on to the targets and just pressing the X button till they die. There is not most variety in what you can do other than attack or uae magic.

I would compare the Kingdom Hearts battle system to The Legend of Zelda:Ocarina of Time, its a case of locking on to your target and slashing away at it (if you are using a sword). Also on the screen is the classic FF command menu with the choices of Attack, Magic, Item and another one used for different tasks.

I'm not really bothered, as long as there are no restictions when it's placed in one or the other.
I'm yet to sample Kingdom Heart's battle system (but will soon) but it looked pretty god from what I saw. One think I really hate is being rushed, i need time to make my decitions.
Everyone slates the turn-based system for being too slow and boring, but when you've been hammering away at a boss for half-an-hour it's really exiting as every turn could put you on top, or kill you.

To be honest, I don't mind. I used to really like the turn based style, for ff7 and ff8 etc, but after a while it got a bit annoying. FF10 patched that up a bit, where there was a set order for each, rather than just how quickly your ATB bar went up. Kingdom Hearts was a nice brak from that, and now i am ready to go back to turn based with ffx-2

How do all of you RPG battles to be done? Real time like Kingdom Hearts or Turn based like the majority of Final Fantasy games?
I think that turn based is better because with real time the camera sometimes goes weird but that is just probably just the game i have played.
