AOE Toggle Needs to GO

[Reika]

Nah, that's right. In FFIV you can AoE Cure, Cura, Curaga and Curaja simply by selecting every teammate by pressing the opposite direction of your characters while casting. Same goes with offensive skills like Fire, Thunder, and so on.

Now, I'd like to see how Yoshi thinked about how doing this without the AoE toggle. I'm quite curious =)

People forgot about those tho... I brought that up in the OTHER 'Please remove AOE toggle' Thread too. Being able to AOE or single target the same spell is not a new concept... All they need to do is rename the II's with -ra and the III's with -ga, add some mp/potency penalties to AOE and the nostalgia will return.

That must only be in the remakes. In the orginals for the SNES, IV/V/VI all used the 123 naming system.

It is in the Originals too. I've played original FF IV and VI, you can do that and even pick various targets by single selecting many to cast on. When you select a spell and push X once, it will create a blinking hand on the target. you can then go to other targets and push X once to add them to your target list. Double press X to start casting. it was funner and harder when your ATB was set to 'active'
