How about Gambit system?

[Espoir]

I think Gambit system is best battle system for FFXIV.
Dragon Age: Origin is implemented same system and it is popular.
Gambit system have good reputation.

I have simple question.
Do you think that Gambit system should be implemented?or not?

I'm not good at English. sorry.

I don't think so. The gambit system works well in a game where you are trying to control multiple characters at once, but doesn't make much sense to apply to an MMO like FFXIV.

However, if a Pet Class or Mercenary/Adventuring Fellow system were to be implemented, a gambit-style control scheme has some potential.

Gambit system? wassat?

Another new feature in Final Fantasy XII is the "gambit" system, which allows the player to program each character to perform certain commands in battle in response to specified conditions.[12] Using gambits, the player may set reactions to different stimuli for each character. Each gambit consists of three parts: a target, an action, and a priority. The target specifies which ally or foe to act on and the condition for applying the action. For example, the target "Ally: HP < 70%" causes the character to target any ally whose hit points have fallen below 70%. The action is the command to be performed on the target. The priority determines which gambit to perform when multiple gambits are triggered. These heuristics guide the characters when acting autonomously, although player-directed commands are always given top priority.

In a nutshell you decide how a character responds to each situation, and let the AI take over. Again, this makes no sense to implement into a normal MMO battle system.. unless you're controlling pets or NPCs.

Waaa. We need no AI, we have RI.

[ChiefCurrahee]

Gambit system would be awesome to control pets! Not player characters, just pets

[Espoir]

thanks for comment.

Gambit system is not equal to AI.
Gambit of FFXII is too useful and too wise.
so,I suggest "Inconvenient　Gambit system".
That,Dev should implement Gambit system as support.
In FFXII, we can set 12 slot.
This is too much.
I think 4 or 5 slot is best on FFXIV.
And, if we can change Gambit group in combat,it would be like changing roll.
How about this?

I don't think a gambit system would work well at all in this game. It would simply automate your character, which would be boring.

[Kaedan]

I don't mean to be rude, but sorry, just no.

People do not want the computer to play for them. And that's all the Gambit system was. The only reason it was in FFXII was so you would not have to micromanage your other teammates.

It has no place in a game where you don't have NPCs to control.

thanks for comments.

I recognize that point.
I suggest Gambit as support.
Main is manual operations.
I mean that troublesome routine work should be eliminated.
That way, we can play more technical.
