Has anyone else played the FFXII Demo? Watd u think?

I bought DQ8 and got the demo and was really excited.  The game looks and feels great IMO but for some reason i felt as if i really wasnt playing an FF in the classic sense. Im not sure if this is a good thing or not but i wanted to hear some other peoples opinions on this.

[QUOTE="italianstalianb"] i played it loved the cinematic aspects but not a fan of the battle system i dont think they should have changed it...y fix something that isnt broken

Square have always changed their battle system so why are people making such a fuss about it this time round? If they kept it the same all the time I'm sure I would get bored quickly.

Well the FFVIII battle system was a major difference from previous games - no MP!

Is the demo worth or should I just wait for the reall thing?

i played the demo and flat out hated the battle system. call me old fashioned but i do not like AI controlled party members. i dont have the demo anymore so can someone tell me if you turn off the gambit system do you get to make all the decisions for each member

I thought it was a welcomed change to the battle system of the game.  I don't know why you would want to turn it off cause its reallly good.

each to their own i suppose. i hated it

I only bought Dragon Quest VIII for the demo. And I'm glad I did. Haha, I play the demo more than I play DQVIII itself, I just don't like DQ games... So I'll just have to keep pressing the x button during the tuorial in the real game. Except when they ask me to do stuff..... Man I love the battle system in XII. I actually think it is so much easier to use than the regular pick a command and watch as they go to the enemy and hit it and then run back. That's pretty weird why I think that......... But I really hate how you have to use your max Mp to summon the espers. And the Espers aren't that great. Are Shiva and/or Ifrit Espers? Or is it just all new ones? mr_bri9htside

im sure the old classics like shiva, ifrit and bahamut are in there. they are synonymous with the series now

It seems amazing but the in-gameplay is kinda disapointing,the graphics arent very good when you control it and the spells look kinda lame.But the cutscenes are amazing.

I really don't think FFXII should be judged solely on graphics...Somegamer

Yeah, thye don;t look nothing to special, except for the cutscenes, but the gameplay is what gets me anyways, and it has very good gameplay.  a bit different from what I've been use to in FF games, but its gonna be a great one.
