Apparently the game will improve on FFXII's Gambit system, which allowed players to automate many moves for their party members. In FFXIII, there will be many all-new Gambits. The most prominent include "Next area: Walk to" and "Cutscene: Watch". With these Gambits turned on, players can finally experience Final Fantasy in all its glory without ever having to press any buttons at all.

Could you please provide a link for proof?

If this is true, then some people aren't going to like it. But like FF XII they are the minority.

I sure as hell don't like it, I hated FFXII's battle system, seriously excpect for big monsters, you never fought... you could've left the controller and wath the fight without any trouble... Whats the point of playing the game if your gonna watch it... ahh come on square bring the old battle system back screw the gambits.

That would just bring back the haters of turn based RPGs...

Either way its a lose lose situation for some.

I would like more information on this. Having less control over your characters isn't a good thing.

Thank god, it was really annoying having to move to the next mosnter, after the AI did the battle itself, i NEEDED that in FF13, now i can just sit back, relax and do not even touch my controller

both gambits and turn-based combat suck IMO

they need real-time combat with enemies that don't appear at random, and i'll finally be able to enjoy a final fantasy game

I'd like to see the FF series (and other JRPGs) move towards a real-time with pause (RTwP) combat system similar to many WRPGs such Bioware's pre-Jade Empire titles. It moves the game away from boring old turn-based combat without turning into an action title.

Real Time Combat a la western rpgs also kind of begins to be lame, Witcher did a good job with the combo thing, but still imo one of the best battle system was Star Ocean 3 battle system. Enemies on screen, when encounter there is a transition on the battelfield. And it's a real time action battle system that is very nicely done, no buton mashing and so on.

People who hate on the FFXII due to the gambit system are confused. People hated turnbased gaming so FFXII took of turnbased and made the action more involving. Then people complain that the gambit system means that you dont get even to play and they completley ommit the fact that gambits are OPTIONAL. It makes me wonder if the people who complain about FFXII have even played it....
