Auto isn't stupid. If you would have attacked the fire guy with ICE ICE ICE ICE anyway, why not have the option to do so with one button press instead of four?

The problem isn't that there's a button that automatically does The Most Obvious Thing, it's that The Most Obvious Thing is almost always the best thing. If the game is that shallow, it should just do The Most Obvious Thing on its own until/unless you want it to do something else, which is exactly what FFXII's creators figured out. It sounds like XIII-2's are doing addition in places that need subtraction.
I haven't played the first game in so long, i like this demo though! That Mog is so~ uguu~ ~
But Chocobocolina... her voice makes her sound like she's about to have a chocobocabreakdown and she's going to take me with her...
Yeah, i don't know what's wrong with everyone who isn't me and blueskied. This is about one DRILLION times better than FFXIII. I like being able to go around the caves, i like the FMtowns Marty, i like the battles and the ease of getting away from them if you're just not in the mood, i like that i'm not going in straight lines, and i like that the plot involves "There's a giant thing, get rid of it somehow".
I'm 100% less embarrassed playing this game than i was FFXIII. Hopefully the demo is a good representation of the rest of the game!
I don't like
-Chocobocolina's voice, she sounds like Fairly God Parents
-When i get items and i don't know what the hell they do but i want to wear them (orange newsboy cap, why is Sera not wearing it RIGHT NOW?)
-all that clutter on the menu screen.
-sometimes i don't like the QTE stuff, but that's because i'm afraid i'm going to mess up.
otherwise really like it
Maybe I'm just bothered that those with a raging hard on for FF13 (it was designed to be linear so you can enjoy the story!!!) were appalled that FF12 "plays the game for you" when there was far more strategy in determining Gambits and working around ever-changing conditions than selecting Auto-Battle every 5 seconds.Quote:

Also where are you running into people with a raging hardon for XIII?
Maybe he posts at gamefaqs a lot?
I really can't think of anywhere else in real life or online.
Or, as normal, he's making shit up to try and have a point.
I think the best thing people here ever said about it was that it's a bad game, but it's not that bad.
I was thinking about starting XIII up again, but man, i just keep remembering embarrassing cut scenes and drawn-out battles that take a lot of trial and error that i just don't care to fight again. Maybe i'll be okay jumping in from my last save.
You will be, it'll come back to you before you know it. I jumped back in like a year later and was fine.Quote:
