Circle arenas...

[Mook_Mook]

Can we please stop this, we have not had a non circle arena fight since turn 1 of bcob. I would love to believe that square can be more creative than make a circle, but i guess this is not the case. Please give some other shapes some love

Turn 8's a square though

Second Coil turn 3 is a square.

:O I forgot that glorious square, I got blinded by rage at the shiva preview seeing yet another circle

What's wrong with circle arenas, exactly? You do realize that circle arenas are alot harder to make than square ones, right? I mean, look at the history of 3D fighting games. Nearly all square arenas. Polygons abhor circles. Conversely, real life you find alot of circular 'arena's. The developers are just taking cues from life, I don't see the problem.

Fight before Ultima Weapon is a square too, not that that's any better... Turn 1 was barely better too, I think the Gilgamesh fight has the best arena so far, even if that is just two circles split by a short path; at least it was interesting having to move about to continue the fight, rather than just dodging...

I miss Rivenroad and it's glorious stairs.

Sorry, but this was also a circle arena.

Sorry, but this was also a circle arena.

It had multiple levels, that's what's important. You didn't just fight Darnus in the same circle; you sent ranged onto the stairs to take out comets, and DPS up to the very top to finish zerging him (or whatever, it's been a while). Much more interesting than the current arena designs, in my opinion.

I mean really, compare the two (Coil Turn 9 spoilers yo);

The stairs were inside of the circle, so it would still be in the same circle on top of the stairs ^^
What you mean is a 3D arena, regardless of the base geometry.

I have read you can fall down from the Shiva arena and climp up stairs to go back into the fight.

But yes, the devs should bring again some arenas where also the 3rd dimenson is involved. Climbing up stairs or destroying falling objects before they reach the bottom. Or testing a new invention from Cid that allow us to fly in the circle and fight in the air ^^

Thank the friggin' lords. I hope you're right.
I'm sick of unforgiving mechaincs like that.
Levi and Titan piss me off...it's sad we're Warriors of Light but can't Swim at the very least...
Perhaps when we get a swimming expansion, they'll nerf Levi EX so we can swim back when we get knocked off LOL.
