Keiji Inafune talks about Japanese Games: how it relates to XIV

[Jinko]

This post sums up my feeling of the old FF You can beat all of them 1-10 with Attack and Cure command and nothing else. They never really made you utilize the other things in the battle system.

No matter what anyone says 13's battle system was better than all the old ones,to call it a mashy is funny cause all the old ones was mash fest cause the only command you needed was "Attack" Most ppl dont even know how to play FF 13 cause they just used Auto battle then when they face a stong mob they just avoid it like the plague cause you can't win with auto battle.

You were obviously playing them wrong

Reason I didn't like 12 and 13 is because I like complete control over my party, AI is no substitute.
I am replaying 3 on the DS at the moment and I only spam attack on the Warrior and monk, black mage is the biggest damage dealer in the game, why would I be spamming attack with it ?

How do you mean? Legitimately curious, not trying to rage.

If you couldn't see the starwars theme in 12 ... I duno how to explain it to you.

The Bangaa race (Yea I know they are part of the Ivalice world), spaceships (not really spaceships I know but they look like them), judges and the Archadian Empire they looked like darthvader, don't get me wrong I loved the world in 12, it just seemed much different to your standard Final Fantasy.

Watch this

You could say the Garlean Empire are very similar in that respect also.
