  • hey was this ff13-2?? then why this is not the battle gameplay that I heard in ff13-2's battle music??

  • Its not 15, its 13-2. Big difference

  • THAT WAS FF13

  • are you serious that is xiii

  • the worst FF's battle system ever.

    Bring old stuff back gad damn it

  • @sulfurn1986 Its not the battle systems fault youre too stupid to understand it.

  • Comment removed

  • @nextpkf : The battle system is fucking bullshit, but it's not the only shit that i dont wanna see in a FF anymore

    where the towns ? the maps ? the airship ? the freedom of speaking to anyone and traveling where you want ? no way that was the biggest fuck up i have never seen

    you keep walking the same path for 10hrs without me

    you run around on Pulsar for 50hrs killing the same mobs without me.

    Got it ? or to stupid to understand what a RPG is ?

    You spent your money for shit, i dont

  • @sulfurn1986 The design of the game was lacking, no doubt about it, but the battle system was fantastic. The system was acclaimed by critics, with many calling it the best in the series and one or two even proclaiming it the best in the GENRE.

    XIII had BIG issues, but its battle system was brilliant. Like I said, its not the battle systems fault if youre too stupid to understand it. Anyone who thinks all you do in XIII is press X (as opposed to the older FFs...) needs to wake up.

  • @nextpkfr ...your trolling ff13 had the worst battle system of them all

  • @Melee2Kil XIIIs battle system is critically acclaimed, look it up. It was called the best in the GENRE. And its pretty clear why, its a fantastic system.

    My theory is people who dont like it either only played the first few hours of the game, or never gave it a chance because it was different. It takes far more strategy than older FF battle systems, thats undeniable.

    And in case youre wondering, Ive played and finished every main FF title (minus 11 and 14 obviously).

  • @nextpkfr i understand why they stripped it down, to make the battles more fast pace, but that still doesn't justify, them taking away the control of the other 2 members of the party... and paradigms are all well and good, but i'd much rather controll all 3 myself, i mean the could even keep the changing roles aspect..., just stop using ai... and give us the control back, even if it means slowing down the speed of the battles...

  • @DaRkLoRd1061 I agree in general, I wish they had let us control all three party members, but the system did work anyway. You see the commands werent really what controlled the party in XIII. How you controlled them was the roles, and you DID control the roles of all three characters.

    Just like in older FFs where youd think 'Oh I need that character to heal the others', in FFXIII youd think 'Oh Ill switch that character to a Medic'. Same with attacking/debuffing/etc.

  • @nextpkfr true, but still for ff15 at least i still feel that i would like a bit more control, i did however really like the stagger bar, and the after battle report with the star rating i thought that was a pretty cool addition... but overall it was a good system, it was certainly different and it's good to mix it up abit from time to time, and i'm glad they're keeping it for ff13-2, but i hope they change it for ff15...

  • @nextpkfr Ok yeah mostly it was fine, but paradigms killed it for me, you shouldn't have to go through all the effort of changing them to cast 1 spell you want then you watch the stupid animation again to go back to the battle. Another thing was the enemies health being way to high, they would deal no damage to me but I'd have to wait around for a few minutes while my character dealed out enough damage. And your characters can fly.. are these even part of of the battle system? < RANT

  • @Melee2Kil That is definitely a legitimate complaint. Those animations while you switched paradigms were fucking annoying. Fortunately thats been fixed for XIII-2 (shifts are instant now).

    About enemies having health too high, it sounds like you werent using the system properly. Im guessing when it was taking minutes to kill enemies you werent getting five stars? XIIIs battles always felt fast too me. Faster than older FFs anyway.

  • @nextpkfr probably because this game plays by itself... the combat system is ridiculous, paradigms in FF12 werent that bad, now its just nosense autopilot, go throw the game to watch the beutiful cutscenes and anoying childish voices, i wish they took the sound back jajaj

  • @kubinskij1 hey ffxiii is good! its true dont act like it isnt

  • can u use ultima and more powerfull spells???/

  • @calipdis2 you can't do anything in ff13 its a movie

  • i wish it had to be like FFXII

  • I'm glad some people like final fantasy 13. Personally, I wasn't a fan. I'll still buy every new FF, never know when you'll strike gold ^^.

  • Final Fantasy XV

  • Way to steal a video and then completely fail at the desc and title

  • i only wanna play this game for lightning and the black afro guy

  • My fav game ever... Great battle system. I don't have to control the movement of the character Like ff type-0.... Easy for just focus on the paradigm. The story actually is not to bad. Kinda like it..

  • FF 13 played it... Beat it... And worst final fantasy i have ever played...

  • WHY DOES THIS FAKE VIDEO HAVE SO MANY LIKES!?

  • This is FF13 not FF15 and there is no game made yet for FF15 so change your title

  • @RoboGamer1 it is 15 in japan

  • The title is deceiiiving!

  • You didn't create very good paradigms.

  • this is ff 13?

  • That looked.....Repetitive.

  • @Madness7125 Your life is also repetitive. AMAZING! VIDEO GAMES ARE NOW ABLE TO SIMULATE LIFE!

  • Yes ATCHA!!! =D

  • Atcha 61 grand worth of views

  • Wow, I really loved the battle system. It made battles more interesting and less tedious. Oh, well. I'm the only person in the world that thought this was one of the best final fantasies lol.

  • @wowperson26 i thought this was one of the best too

  • it should go back to the 8 bit simple play lmao jk 13 was pretty good

  • Final fantasy 13 was my first time playing from the series. I'd have to admit the whole paradigm system and all of the numbers were a bit confusing and took a lot of getting used to, but what kept me in this game mostly was trying to understand Wth the storyline was Lolz, once I learned I was hooked, and basically that's the only reason I kept playing this game. Other than that, the battle system was not good at all... Rather annoying..

  • This is not Final Fantasy.. it's just another PS3 silly game. I think I could get seizures if I play this game

  • I loved this battle system although it was a bit easy. Good concept overall.

  • for me final fantsy ended when they changed the battle system

  • Comment removed

  • worst in the series so far,too much on flashy images and very little on gameplay

  • i want this game but it looks so confusing with so many numbers and letters o.o

  • More people need to play FF6.

  • @MetalRagnar I know what you mean by that. *HIGH FIVE*

  • the battle system is simply automatic and make people to feel bored ! even though final fantasy 12 battle is simple, it is 10x better.. final fantasy 13 is a major disappointment, boring and doesn't have many to play just a linear boring game.. i've been playing final fantasy since i was child and this is the poorest final fantasy ever made

  • Imma be the first to say that Final Fantasy X-2 has the BEST battle system in any Final Fantasy. I bet if the three playable characters weren't girls, people would give X-2 more credit.

  • @FebruarysOS And perhaps if the story wasn't out in left field. Get rid of pain, brick back Kimahri. Rikku needs to put some clothes on. She's 2 years older (I think it was 2 years), and she still acts like she's 9. Wakka and Lulu, even Yuna, grew up a lot in those two years. Rikku was still annoying as fuck. I'd bang the shit out of her, and never phone her again. I'd rather communicate with a post.

  • @DGrant1010 WOW REALLY

  • what ever happened to the rediculously giant swords???? o.0

  • a lot of people that hate the batle system dont know how to use it to its full potential

  • Shitty battle system. I regret ever playing this game

  • The battle theme really fits here..

    Imagine FFX with this battle theme..

    It may suck XD.

    Oh i dont have ps3 too. And im dying to play this T,T

  • The battle songs from Final Fantasy VII up to present are so epic. I really love "Blinded by Light" in FFXIII. It really brings me at the edge of my seat when battling in FFXIII, especially the music. Uhm, did I mention that I haven't played this yet, I'm only watching this and I'm really dying have a PS3, unfortunately, we can't afford it. Luckily, Dissidia included Lightning to play her, but, it's still not the whole FFXIII feeling. I just wish I have a PS3 just so I can play FFXIII.

  • @LOLcheerFUL ten why don't u play it for the 360 the graphics may not be ps3 quality but its satisfactory and godly cheaper in price.

  • @rockafobia Still can't afford it. But, I'm trying to save enough money to buy a PS3, just so I can play FFXIII, hehe! Anyways, thanks for the suggestion, haha! :)

  • i thank is dum that if the leader dies is GAME OVER but 2 more guy are standing

  • If you don't mash the auto button and actually put the controls in yourself, it's actually pretty interesting. You have to shift a lot of paradigms as well in order to get the real hard battles going. I thought the battle system was a lot of fun... The fast pace of it gave you really little time to just sit there doing nothing... You were always doing something during battles, so I thought it was pretty fun...

  • no 13 sux but 13-2 is waaaaaaaaaaayyyy better. the story on this sucked and there were no side trails during the game. when they made 13-2 they kicked the whole team that made 13 and hired new ppl. its much better. and yes 7 is the best one they ever made :D

  • X?VII?VIII? IX!!!!!!That's the best!!!

  • @XChichibu1993XRETURN

    IV? V? VI!!!!!! That is the best >:D

  • For me this is the best battle system of all final fantasy, the others are too slow and less animated... except for x and so on.

  • @TheFinal360 the rest are less animated because of the consoles they were on, remember that ff7-9 were all on the ps1, and it didnt improve dynamically until ffx or x-2

    the newer ones from square-enix are just confusing... i was so dissapointed when i picked it up, being a long FF fan, i expected the battle system would revert back to normal after the negative feedback from FFXII but no, it's even more convoluted and confusing, plus, you can only control 1 guy, WTF?

  • WTF IS GOING ON! SO MANY DAMN NUMBERS AND FLASHY THANGS!

    o.o

  • Difficult, takes time to getting used :|

    but it's still cool anyway

  • this is masterpiece of games,even it's music is great,but Consoles only,fuck...

  • FF13 battle system was dull

    FF12 took some time to get use to and I loved it

    FF10 hit the spot the moment it hit and was the best FF game ever FF7 was boring to me so yeah 10 and 12 I loved an FFX-2 was just another game with Yuna and Rikku

  • Comment removed

  • @tsume12

    Finally someone who likes 12 :d

    Only thing that got me mad is the amount of grind

  • the sound is amazing. but just the sound =/

  • boreed

  • I`m only worring about, that will I become good at using this battle system. How could this be fun if I wont? And it`s really complicated. Do you really have to know how to use every single little thing to beat the hardest parts of this game? Or is it just simply too complicated, and you could beat this came with a less talent of using the battle system? I have playd only 4 hours, so I can`t really tell anything. Tell me guys, how hard this game is? I have beat FF7. It was a bit challenging.

  • Yeah, I miss ff 7,8 and 9 battle system :P

  • so u beat an enemy by staggering them?

  • people keep talking about how the battle system for XIII is terrible. this vid is pretty badass even with AUTO. i dont own a ps3 or an xbox, so i cant really get one. is it really that bad?

  • @roxel6 It's not really that terrible. It's just that you can easily get through most of the battle by simply mashing X (auto battle). and you have little control of the battles because it goes too fast. It's more like you're watching it rather than playing it. I know what you mean though. but once you get to play the game, it's really nothing more and repetitive X button pressing. Other than that, the game is still wonderful.

  • @terrahotaru yea but if u say that then all the final fantasies are nothing but that and I played 7-13.Personally 7,8 are one of my favs however I love 13 a bit more cause the battle system is fast paced which causes u to think on ur feet in tight situations which I like. In the past series u don't really have to do such a thing cause u have time to come up with a plan to eliminate ur enemies ex:nights of the round, and eden, ff10 u just have all the time in the world.as for all the stories love

  • ..You fan boys can bark. But, I loved the battle system from the beginning to the end.

  • The only things I didn't like with the battle system were:

    Why did you lose when you party leader died? WTF?

    Auto-battling sucks! The AI initiates the commands while you spam x. There's no skill in that.

    Why did your guys recover fully after every fight? What were the point of potions?

    We should have been able to control our formations. They always like to clump together or form a straight line, so they all get hit.

    It would have been nice to see a new weapon in battle when it was equipped.

  • @jayhow92 Then turn off auto-battle you douche. I swear, all the people complaining about this game's battles being too "auto" are fucking retards. TURN OFF AUTO-BATTLE THEN GODDDDDDDDDDD

  • @yoyoyo88665 The game is practically pushing you to use the auto-battling system. I didn't and it was still just as easy. I was actually offended that Square thought we were too incompetent to handle anything tougher. It clearly favors the newbs rather than veterans. Casts your buffs, debuff the boss, diversity/relentess assult until the staggering point, then aggression/relentless assult until the bonus is over. Not that hard. The summons were completely useless!

  • @jayhow92 It's pushing you, but you don't have to. And LOL, what you stated is more than what most FF's require you to do in fights.

  • i love this... the new battle system is epic and easy... but well the ff7 is the best

  • Final fantasy battles were the best before VII. There was no time limit for your turns to you had a chance to think and plan your attacks. this also gave you time to look through the 1000 itams in your bag to pick the right one before you got killed. the fanfare was better from I - VI also to boot. thumbs up for all the best but forgotton FF games! ^_^

  • @Duharharhar Honestly, Kingdom Hearts had the best battle system of any Final Fantasy Game. Sure a lot of button Smashing but you only control 1 character, it's simple and most important, IT'S REAL TIME

  • How the fuck did my last comment split into 2?

  • inferior system, I'll stick to Dragon Quest.

  • What's this- WoW wanna-be? As long as the FF battles de-evolve into an I

  • I guess I'm another one of the old timers, who miss the slow paced, and controllable fight systems of the old FF-games. I don't understand how people can figure out what the hell is going on in these fights? There's numbers everywhere, I can't for the life of me see who's losing what, and how much! Meh, I'm getting old..

  • @Jurgemaister1 The only thing I miss from the old FF battle system is the Over-Drive/Drive or whatever it was, that was my favorite part of the game. I would level up all my characters and Aeons just to Over-Drive the hell out of every Boss...especially Seymour :D

  • I miss the battle system where you have to wait, like FF6, 7, 8, etc

  • The CTB-System of FF X was just the best. The battle systems that came after that were either confusing or not thought through... I miss FF X. Sad, that they didn't adapt it for PS3. I think a lot of people would've liked it.

  • I'd rather play ff7 seems less messy

  • thats so messy batlle system!!!

  • the battle system is press x every 2 seconds.

  • So disappointing. Ever since ff7 square has been oversimplifying ff games into cinema with interspersed button presses. This is the most stripped version so far. You control 1 character, can't control who's in your party for an enormous part of the game, 1 wpn 1acessory, ridiculously linear storyline until.... couldn't get that far....

  • @sezzyg

    I keep hearing this word "stripped" or "simplified" in relation to FFXIII, but I'm finding it a lot tougher than FFXII. Which is why I think people coming to this conclusion never played it long enough.

  • thumbs up if you think ATB sucks and turn based combat rocks

  • @solidsnake434 that wasn't ATB though. that was ATB's Bastard child. If you want ATB you need to play any of the games before 10.

  • @CheeseTruncheon

    It has bar's, it fills up, it's ATB.

  • @CheeseTruncheon oh i have played previous FF games with ATB they are more accurate than this one but i never liked it

  • @solidsnake434

    It is turn based dumbass. If it wasn't turn based, you wouldn't have to wait.

    What it is, is a speed up version of the ATB system employed by many FF games.

  • @Crusina turn based: A turn-based strategy (TBS) game is a strategy game (usually some type of wargame, especially a strategic-level wargame) where players take turns when playing. This is distinguished from real time strategy where all players play simultanteously. The phrase refers almost exclusively to video games.

    The ATB or active battle system does not respect the turns, having to wait it's not turn based because the game does not wait for you and what are you 11 yo child? be polite please

  • @solidsnake434

    So going "thumbs up" "sucks" and "biased opinion" is so much more mature?

    Oh I cussed, big deal. If you were so much more mature you'd have simply ignored that remark and simply concentrated on my other remark. Instead you feel the need to point out something that is fairly irreverent to the main argument. Now be the "big boy" and don't respond to this part.

    Nonetheless, you make a very valid point. Do you mean to say Final Fantasy VI (Best game ever IMO >.>) is not turn based?

  • i'm sorry but the characters look gay...... but game looks awesome i'm into rpg's !

  • is shit when thne will stop to put automatic and get back to manuel like ff 7 8 9 10 and the rest -_-

  • yo this looks amazing what was up with all the hate over the past year?

  • xiii is out on 360 too... and where's the love for ix? it was WAY better than x!

  • @cutejoshie My lord is it ever. IX was, in my opinion, the best, followed by IV, VI, V, then VII. The rest I don't have much love for.

  • FF7 is the best, FF8 second,

    FF10 third, if compare both graphics and gameplay, FF10 is the best

    i cant give any comment for FF13, didnt have a PS3, so uh, :P

  • i loved ff 12 wats diff bout battle system?

  • Real time is for critical thinkers only. Like me. I've been using the real-time system since FF9.

  • Disc 3?

  • there is way too much crap going on onscreen. back to traditional roots my ass

  • lol the quality in this sucks : D i play it in a full HD tv conected with an HDMI cable on my Xbox 360 and the graphics are AWESOME

  • I liked the turn based system better because it gave me a chance to actually think about my next move ( I don't usually go balls to the wall with action). It was very confusing in XII for me because I didn't really know what I was doing in the battle. I would focus on one character and the others would die off.

    This however, looks promising. I got this game as an X-mas gift and very excited to play =D. I do miss the sphere grid though from FFX....

  • Yes, yes..classic Square Phoenix.

    Insane CG trailers, and awful ingame graphics.

  • Final Fantasy X (10) has better story, better battle system and better characters (save for Sazh and the Chocobo chick). The only thing that is better about Final Fantasy 13 is the platform and the graphics used. Haters please don't hate as this is my own opinion but many gamers will agree, FF10>FF13 marginally. (I didn't say that nothing was too bad did I?

  • the new battle system is rly good... maybe if yall didnt SUCK at it than it wld be fun . plus turn based system thing that was in all of the other final fantasy games was getting over rated . it was fun back then but now the new system is deffintly more challenging and YES u might die sometimes but thts y they have the paradigm system TRY MORE STRADIGIES n quit bitching about this master piece . i hope they keep this battle system for awile . and the characters and the story was really good too

  • Final Fantasy X was the best game i've ever played beacause of the battle strategy, and i was so disapointed with FF XII, sure graphic and scenery is beautiful, but battle system is horryble. It doesn't let you enjoy the game, everything is so fast and you can't control shit. Everything is automatic, and confusing, it sucks!!! And also enemies seem like nothing just bunch of robots. You know what , even the story sucks

  • @nikola3201 i ment FFXIII not FFXII

  • @nikola3201 ff10 IS the best ff ;D.. xD

  • @nikola3201 Final Fantasy VII Dirge of Cerberus had the best battle system (Never played VII on PS), FFXII had the worse but FFX battle system was boring and repetitive, but the story was one of the best in the series. FFX-2 is like a good orgasm, starts off really exciting then...eh, NEXT..so in all for PS2 FFX was the best despite the terrible battle system and graphics (at that time) cause the story was excellent

  • @nikola3201 in all final fantasies... does it only let you attack with those screen pop ups? it doesn't let you attack manually by just pressing the buttons?

  • @nikola3201 I agree on the X part but i liked 12 battle system takes getting use to

  • @nikola3201 FF12 has one of the best battle systems if you use it right, you dont have to keep button bashing like you do on every other FF game...I seriously dont get why people say 12 has a bad battle system...if anything was bad from 12 it was the story, not the gambit system...and the espers were pretty useless

  • @nikola3201 yeaaahhh. its true.

    final fantasy xii was the worst final fantasy

  • @nikola3201 um yea the story sucks but its not as bad as u think the way u describe it sounds like u couldnt get through the first part

    if u did u would kno theres barely any human enemies and mostly monster/ animals idk if its normal to call them animals

  • @MrNotRetardo i didn't get thought first part sure , because i couldn't play it :) , it was so annoying the battle system, so many numbers pooping on the screen you can't even see what the hell is going on. You have no time to THINK the strategy you use for the next round, that's what made the previoust FF so great, the strategy, and here you just rush and press the same button over and over again. dissapointing sorry dude

  • @nikola3201 well theres 2 ways to play did u try both thats probably y one is where when u press the action buttonand the game pauses and lets u decide and the the people start fighting again the other is probably what ur talking about but ur opinion is ur opinion

  • @nikola3201 haha actually the people who didnt enjoy ff13 are those guys that cant play complex games.. LOL i pity you for being one of them.. FYI this game had a lot of strategy in it.. fail my friend.. fail

  • @knucklesp Strategy? Lol. I'll say previous Final Fantasys have been pretty basic, but don't say 13 requires strategy. I think I might have died twice the entire game.

    The Final Fantasy series has never been about extremely difficult gameplay....I've never really seen stupid in that magnitude. Thank you. You've introduced me to a brand new breed of human being.

  • @DGrant1010 I know what you mean ! but still the first FF battles were really more insteresting than those in FF13. Dont you remember yunalesca ? dark aeons ? jecht ? last weapons ? Ultimecia ? Jenovah ? beatrix/steiner fights in alexandria ? when Balamb gets attaceked ? Edea ? and more That was fucking epic dude.

    Unfortunately, there is no epic battle in the FF13 and FF12 by the way. nothinh to compare to the 7-8-9-10.

  • @sulfurn1986 Oh I agree. I was just letting that guy know he is borderline retarded. People don't enjoy FF XIII because it's too complex? Really? You hold down UP and press X for 15 hours then clap your hands because it's over.

    The previous Final Fantasies had amazing battles. Not because they were hard, but because of the story driven behind it. Well, Beatrix owned, but thats it :). Actually, Yunalesca killed me once, but because I didn't realize I was being turned to a zombie.

  • @sulfurn1986 ha trying killing yiazmat in ff12

  • @sulfurn1986 ff12 had some pretty difficult boss fight possibly some of the hardest in the series it's just not worth putting the hours in to get to them as the gambit system makes it so fucking repetitive tha i get bored half way through most of the time...

  • @TheObayo Lmfao I wasn't really calling him a loser. Never mind, no one gets my sense of humor.

  • @nohozana

    Ahhh, poor blinded fan, unable to appreciate a great game because of your nostalgia. If you approach it determined to hate it, of course you will! I found it a very enjoyable ride, sure it could be improved upon, but it's definatly worthy of the title. I'm getting sick of all the butthurt fans who just want VII's and X's. Each game is it's own unique experiance, there is no such thing as a "classic final fantasy game", so stop looking for it.

  • im pumped! I heard it was real-time , but its still the turn based system I have always loved playing.

  • Is there a freeze mode like FF12? Cuz this seems very fast

  • Worst and most repetitive battle system ever.

  • @nohozana i think so too! No tatics, no thinking...only one choice, then sit back ahd watch. what a shame...suche beatiful graphics and no time to enjoy,,,,too much frentic information onscreen

  • @frejat yeah man i'm completely done with ff.after seeing 14 I don't put much faith in square anymore and there lazy developers.

  • @nohozana LOSER

  • @drxwnedxwxrld ahhh little child hurt over an opinion of a terrible game,I'm sorry but this game suck's to me and a fair amount of people who have been following this series from the begining.the story is poor,the battle system is terrible and the characters are fucking annoying,but since you like it keep playin it. at least some people can enjoy it.

  • @nohozana lulz. Just saying... I don't see how they're "lazy". The battle system was done pretty well in this game (Idgaf if you like it or not), the graphics were top notch (duh??), although I admit they were missing some parts. But even so, FFXII, a game by Square Enix, is hated by many nostalgic fans for no valid reason (it wasn't "epic"? the battle system is lame because it's real time?).

  • final fantasy X is better.

  • @supersmash27 ff4 was my fave,,,until i played this lol

  • Its good but I do not like the battle theme, you can hardly hear it and it doesn't motivate you to fight or sound exciting

  • This game takes some time to get started, with all the cutscenes and limited game play at the beggining, but one you get into its pretty good.

  • at least this battle song doesnt make me wanna rip apart my controller after 2 fights

  • I like the previous battle system, the Turn based ATB wherein you can actually control all characters. For some reasons, FF XII battle system was not as challenging as those of its predecessors.. why? The AI was too smart. I just have to keep pressing X to win. But no wonder, the graphics were great.. Heh.. Heh..

  • i would hav preferred the final fantasy XII battle system rather than this :(

  • omg... sazh is annoying..

  • amma give it a try, I really need a fantasy game, because waiting for Zelda Wii is WAY too frustrating. Yes i got a PS3

  • So whats the difference between this battle system and FFX-2 cause it looks the same???

  • @LightTruthLove you only control one character

  • wow... fast paced turn style... I miss FF7 and 8 style where there is time to slow down and think... im planning on getting this game tonight, and by the looks of it it will take some getting used to...

  • this game FAILED tremendously!

  • 1:34

    sazh looks creepy O.O

    i think ill love him XD
