Current Events > FF13 has the worst summons I've ever seen in a FF game

(+) Yeah! (+)

13 was far worse, you couldn't turn it off, you had less control over their actions, and auto-battle was basically the default choice for far too long.


Loved the Gambit system though I wish it had a bit more depth to it like Origins. Still, I could always swap to wait mode and control my characters one at a time if I needed that much finese for a fight.

you can automatically input commands in 13 but doing that takes to much time and will leave you dead if you dont just spam auto every turn

I think you mean 'manually'. And you can also do that in XII, as well as outright turn Gambits off.

In XII you can program your characters to behave whoever the fuck you want. XIII is a piece of shit that plays itself and only gives you the illusion that your input matters. You literally walk down a halway, enter a battle, watch the game play itself and continue walking down a hallway when you're done. SUpposedly the game opens up after 40 hours, but no sane person would stick around for that long.


But you knew all this already. You're just salty cause I pointed out a flaw in a game you like and started attacking another game that had not even been mentioned in this topic.

So the video you posted is not any input coming from the player, but some kind of auto-pilot? Or do you just loose control of your characters once you enter battles?

See that auto-battle option? That does exactly what you think it does. You can change between a few different presets of auto-battle tactics, or input the commands manually, which is a waste of time since auto-battle does it better and quicker.

Thanks, I missed seeing that the first time I watched it. So FF13 is more like a somewhat interactive movie.
