I would have to say ATB. Most of my favorite RPGs have ATB battle systems. It is nice to have the little bar so you know who is going next in your group, just allows for better strategizing I think.
i think a great one would be an atb game but on when walking around you could see the enemies so you could choose whether to engage in combat or not. and then if ytou did it would be like an atb battle
[QUOTE="queen_valentine"]Hmm...I forget which is which :lol: but I do like the old-school style (ATB?) and the one featured in XII (no clue what it's called).hrimthursar
I'm weird, I like them all!:D I liked FFX, FFXII, and Star Ocean's probably the best, but whatever. I'm like S-Jake in that regard, it's how it's implemented. It doesn't really matter as long as the story is great!:lol: or at least good!:P
but for the sake of the vote, I'll vote Real Time!:roll:
I also like all the systems as long as they are done well. I didn't think I would like FF12's new system but it is the one that I ended up liking the best.
Over all though, I would have to pick turn based for RPGs. I just like the strategy involved...
i voted atb. i thik the best atb is in ffx-2 where the other characers dont have to wait while the others make their move and they can attack togetherjohngebreadman
I loved that too. X-2 had such a pretty battle system.

agreed that worked very well.
the only thing that was bad is it was too quick i died loads of times becdasue my megalixers were at the bottom of my invy
Like others have pointed out in FF X-2 the fighting system was great very smooth yes it took me a short time to get the hang of it once i did I had no problems I liked it so much I played the game over and over till I got 100 percent lol.
I really like the Turn Based systems. I think it's because I grew in a time where that's just how an RPG was done. A close second though would be something like the system used in FF Tactics. Still turned based but not structured to the point where everyone gets one action per round.
turn based for me too; I like being able to strategize what I'm gonna do without worrying about dying in the meantime :) There are some really great games that use real time though, and if I love the game enough, then battle style doesn't stop me from playing it.
For me the order goes of my favorites: ADB, CTB, ATB. I'm one of those people who liked FFXI (as I played it for two years) and like the fact that FFXII battle system was somewhat similar to it. The fact that it was an improvement was nice as well (since it is a single player game there needed to be sme changes but the switching of characters was effortless when the gambets were implemented). I did like how FFX it allowed you to plan ahead so you could get in 20 moves before your opponents first. What can I say about ATB, it just works.
I hate the KH battle system. It is button mashy with absolutely no depth to it at all. Blah. If you are going to do an action battle system, DO IT RIGHT. Give me depth. Give me strategy

the KH battle system isn't that bad (although, its not wonderful either). yes it is button mashing, but at least you've got a decent number of abilities and magic to use to mix things up a bit.
i think that if Square-Enix could blend the CTB and the ADB together somehow they would have the perfect battle system. Which looks like Final Fantasy XIII could have something like my idea.
I like realtime for 90% of all my battles, then when i get to an intense boss battle that involves real strategy instead of just "fight makes right" i like ATB, so i can control the battle a little better.

It is that bad. Its is incredibly button mashy and repeptitive with absolutely no depth to it at all
