Final Fantasy : Crystal Chronicles not turn-based. Opinions?

I am not a huge fan of the FF series though I have warmed to FFIX. Anyway, concerning the GC title. From the tiny bit of footage here , it looks like, though unclear, the combat system may be more Zelda-esque and not turnbased. What I'm wondering is Would FANS of the series be put off by this? I, personally, would find such a change quite appealing though the likes of an ATB guage and Summons should remain in the game.

title changed by request

 

I think it looks interesting, from what little tidbits I've seen. There's really not much to judge.

But, to save you from the customary Rabid_Balding_Ewok rehtoric that Final Fantasy sucks, I'll tell you that there's already a thread on this HERE

 

I'm likein' this game...

I'd like to see some old school 'tree of mana' RPG's surfacing again.

Especially in the new 3D format.

 

"I, personally, would find such a change quite appealing though the likes of an ATB guage and Summons should remain in the game."

"Kingdom Hearts" (another Square game in the veign of FF) basically has a free-roaming battle system of sorts, but summons (and I believe) ATB are still intact. So it's definitely a possibility

 

Zelda's gameplay to me sucks. I understand why they have to change for FFXI, and FFCC isn't a true sequel so I expect many changes and attempts at innovation.

Though it is clear that RBE (like me not so long ago) hates the FF series with a passion I think even he can see that the previous thread concentrates on the game as a whole whilst I wish for this one to concentrate on the apparent change in direction.

 

Well, if the battles are any indication, it is a change from the rest of the series. But I don't know it will indicate any change in the chronological series or not (though FF will be under new direction beginning with FFXII)

 

Yay!, my most sucessful thread ever!
I know, I'm pathetic.

 

It's not quantity, but quality. Remember that well
