I recieved a PM from Xx.Die.xX with this link:

Well, not that link exactly, but the link to the Battlesystem video...and erm...it's probably been posted already, I dunno I haven't been as active as I used to...but it looked pretty cool, must have been filmed at the convention or something.

hahaha yea i hadn't seen that one... thats awesome  

[Sheer_Immortal]

hehe, beat ya to it, Raiden - check out the Storyline discussion subforum wink

I'm kinda looking forward to the Word Bump game...kinda. On the one hand, it's something I'll be good at; on the other hand, I heard you can win gold from it (like earning NP from games at Neopets, I would assume), and that doesn't exactly bode well for the economy. Meh, they'll probably take that into consideration...hopefully...

I'm not as pumped about the Battle System, though. The little video they had for it doesn't even look like a demo (demo = it's coming soon); it was more like a hype-video (hype-video = keep it in people's minds; real game may or may not look anything like it). So, I think the battle dealy is still a ways off, but I thought the vid was funny ^.^

Huh, where'd that show that at?

I wish that they wouldn't have gone with a Maple Story?any other MMO battle system(I just said that one because the damage numbers look like Maple's). I really woud have liked a more Final fantasy-esque battle system. Oh well, it looks cool anyways.

Fanime convention, I believe.

By "battle system," do you mean looks (as in, menu, damage numbers, etc.) or how the battles actually play out? Because to me, "battle system" means the background stuff - whether it's real-time or turn-based, or what skills you can use, etc. The looks is just the skin for it. 3nodding

And also, which Final Fantasy battle system are you thinking of? Most of them are quite different from one another. ^.^

Yeah, I thought so as well.

By "Battle system" I meant the way they fought, I just said Maple Story because the damage marker things looked like they were from Maple. Since they didnt' show any menus I can't really base it off of that.

Well, they all technically share some elements, but I would have to say if they did use one, I would like them to use the one for 3/6.

So like, menu-based, turn-based depending on speed/agility, and each character has its own innate class? (am I missing anything? wink ) I ask because 6 is not one that I've played a ton.

I'd kinda like one like 5 - where you can change jobs whenever you want. And actually, say what you want about X and X-2, but the battle systems on them were pretty good too.

I can see why they'd make it a MMO-type system, though. If it were a Gaia RPG, then I'd want different characters to join my party and stuff; since it's just a battle game, then I think FF/RPG-type battle systems wouldn't really work.

No, pretty much spot on, except for the magic system in 6 is unique, or at least a little. You have to equip your summon to one of the character, and when you got into a battle and won, you would get your experience, and so would that summon for every battle you won, and when the summon leveled up, you got a new spell.

I don't think I ever played 5. I did like X's,but I wasn't really a fan of X-2.

Yeah, true, I guess I understand as well.  

[Sheer_Immortal]

Oh yeah, I 'member that now. Yeah, that way of getting spells was cool. FF9's ability-learning dealy was similar, too 3nodding

They haven't ever had it in my two years of being here. They announced that there would be one about oh, a year and a half ago, but it's been kinda quite since then.
