What do you guys think about making a trigger for critical hits much like FFVIII?
I think it would make auto-attack more interactive. Just an idea... What do you think?

Let's not and say we didn't too.

Blindside pretty much is a guaranteed crit.

Was the gunblade firing the moment Squall slashed considered a crit? I know it was bonus damage, but imo it hardly qualified as a full-on critical hit.

Okay, I will revise the statement to the following:
What do you guys think about adding a trigger function for bonus damage? I would make auto-attack more interactive. -
12-11-2011, 03:04 AMRahJahThe double-negative in your sentence makes your point opaque. Please revise your statement if you wish to add something substantial to the thread.Quote:

But that was as critical as his attacks ever got so yeah... it's the closest thing you could get to a "full-on critical hit" (whatever that's supposed to mean) with Squall.Quote:

What is this? Phantasy Star Universe? If you timed your attacks properly in PSU you'd get a bit of a damage bonus, it wasn't all that fun.
Honestly if we ever see this I hope it's not until 2.0 and the new server system is in place. -

12-11-2011, 12:10 PMNakiamiieoh~ I like that very much! As long as the server lag is solved, that would be awesome to have. :DQuote:

12-12-2011, 01:42 AMRahJahI agree. I would not be a good addition to all weapons/classes.Quote:

Although a form of this concept might be a fun addition to the game (or at least a specific class) it will be flamed because none of the people who troll these forums came up with it themselves.Quote:

I think the main problem with that is, we don't have enough keys on a PS3 controller to implement that. Since the game will be released on PS3, i don't see them implementing it.
They already had to remove the emote menu and replace it with micro menu navigation on the gamepad. -

It could be easily implemented for a new class, and hopefully they do so with any sort of Gunmage/Gunner Squall/Seifer-based class/job, I'll take it up without notice.
-
12-12-2011, 06:06 AMcarrawayActually, no, the problem is that all this would accomplish is return auto-attacking to the realm of pre-auto-attack button-mashing with a mild degree of added precision. I'd rather weave my abilities and weaponskills than my auto-attack crits.Quote:

If we eventually get a gunweapon class (the sword and lance) I would not like it being involved on every single auto attack. Maybe a bar filled up (completely separate from tp and weaponskills) and every 10(or w/e) swings you could perform this action by firing a charged up gunweapon?
-
12-12-2011, 07:04 AMCharismaticWhy does it have to be either/or when it can (and would with the implementation this person is asking for) be both? I'm thinking the guy you quoted is probably correct.Quote:

No thanks.
I don't want to go back to a system similar to pre-AA, in which I had to smash a single button, trying to get an attack out.
If this is implemented, I'll be smashing my button to get a USEFUL attack out once in a while.
I'd rather concentrate on timing my skills right (will be hard enough with player combos).
