No:| KOTOR is a modified version of the DnD ruleset from Neverwinter Nights. The game is real time from appearance but its relaly turned based where the computer rolls dice constantly.

precisely
And Final Fantasy XII uses modified version of ATB system that Final Fantasy has been using over a decade.
[QUOTE="Panzer_Zwei"]Hmmm no. KotoR uses the D20 system.FusionApex
I Like that system.
The ATB system was better then the new one.
Not even close.
ADB system is basically same as ATB system that gets rid of randomly generated battles and not requiring seperate battle mode for fights.
Also instead of waiting to give command, ADB system gives command and waits for action. Given the freedom you can experience with ADB system and motion involved in it, ADB system is much better than ATB system.
KotoR for sure, one of the many reasons I stopped playing FFXII was because of how tedious and boring the combat system became. KotoR II especially improved upon the combat making it very user friendly, deep and entertaining.
D20 system is brilliant. It has rules for every possible situation you can imagine.
"You walking back to you're house after a day's work in the Elven craftsman Fair, suddenly you're teleported inside a Gundam being pulled by the gravitational field of a quasar!"
Kotor only uses a small subset but still is awesome, very balaced system.
[QUOTE="bulletmath"]nope, i've played both and FF12 was superiorfoxhound_fox
But that's your opinion, not fact.
DAMN YOU AND YOUR LOGIC!!!!!
seriously though, which one did you like better and why? i thought KOTOR's was more "realistic" but FF12's just felt better and had a greater strategic element (thanks to gambits)

The systems feel very similar in execution. The begging of FFXII it feels very clunky and I almost stopped playing it. After you get deeper in and it starts to move quicker it feels smoother. I like em both I guess but KOTOR is probably the better game imo.
Frankly, here's the deal. What I just can't put down about KOTOR is the mystique of being a Jedi. I mean Jade Empire has almost the same system and frankly that doesn't really do it for me.
If KOTOR did a sequel that was similar to any other RPG I'd be a sucker and buy it, not so much because of the system but because I'm such a Star Wars and Jedi geek.

I was never interested in playing FFXII and never did. I didn't like the plot and didn't care at all for letting the game play itself. The last FF I truly enjoyed was FFVI. KotOR was a great game, the Star Wars universe really set it off... but there was so much left to be desired. Mass Effect looks like what KotOR *should* have been (other than the different IP).

Indeed. Anyone who has played the table-top D&D knows there is nothing that beats D20 for RPG's. It has been developed and improved over the past 30 years. Putting it far ahead of anything else. I actually want to try playing the Star Wars Wizards of the Coast D20 table-top, it looks quite interesting.
KOTOR is a good game and all. Â But combat is way too random and basic. The D20 system works better with actual dice if you ask me. FFXII was way more fun to play.
played both and didn't like either becuase it basically takes the rpg into a point and click thing. funny thing i'm playing KotOR II right now. but if i had too FF12 although i really don't have much a preferance
