Who else is excited about 'Fine Play'?

[Malakhim]

I'm sure fine play is gonna be stuff like pulling off a 3 step combo, stunning a mobs ability, casting spell combos or incapacitation of limbs ect. ect.

I agree that this might be more realistic given potential latency issues.

But with that in mind, imagine if "fine play" meant that you could increase your XP bonus(or even restore HP/MP/spiritbond/item drop rate/whatever) after battle by fulfilling challenges much like in a Tales game.

"Land a successful 3-hit combo" - +3% xp at end of battle. Something like that. They could even tie it into achievements.

Oh yeah ! Active Timing, Fine Play, whatever it is I'm excited ! but before that, I wanna know how It works xD
Like in Lost Odyssey, that Active Timing made me focus on the Battle and not wander off xD
*Press Action* >> Sequencing Action >>> ||| Charging... ||| >>> [PERFECT HIT !] >> Xx Xxxx Unleashed a full power-swing

I wonder how this will work out for Magics like Cure, Protect and Stoneskin though. For Black Magic, maybe release in quick succession for [Thunder Combo]

I'm excited for Fine Play.

It could be really fun, but it also could be a big failure (bad system, latency, too much importance in battles, etc ...), so I'm looking forward to more details and not putting my hopes too high.

Anything that rewards skill and giving-a-care is a plus.

If there's even a 0,5 second lag/latency/whatever similar, then no way, no thanks! Can imagine myself pulling out my hair, after imagining I had locks instead of a buzzcut.

There's always going to be latency -- The amount varies by your personal connection.

Oh god, me. This could be really cool, and scratch the "skillchain+magic burst cooperation and timing" itch I've got left from oldschool FFXI except in a way that's of interest to every single party member. Definitely looking forward to more about this

edited the OP because it was a little overly speculative/misleading lol

Sounds like a good system to push players away from burning through mobs mindlessly and actually use some strategy, saving skills being more reactive than active. Reminds me of Star Ocean 4 how you used various tactics for a bonus at the end of a fight.

Super Mario RPG was my Favorite game back in those days! *Goes in for the punch "timed hit" Punch again* I'm soo excited for Fine play! I'm curious how its all going to work!

Why did you say you liked Super mario RPG.... Now i kinda have to like you <.<

Reminds me of Overkill in FFX.
