Battle System Details
During E3 2008, members of the Square-Enix development team for Final Fantasy XIII sat down with reporters to discuss the game. While they didn't speak specifically about the battle system, Producer Yoshinori Kitase said he "took the best of X and XII and created something entirely new and evolved it... there will be monsters on the field but it's a little bit different from the MMO style that XII had."IGN: Final Fantasy XIII PreviewFan Site FF-XIII.org describes the battle system as "revolutionary," and also says it will use a command system similar to previous Final Fantasy games, but use a fighting system similar to the system in Final Fantasy XII, where the enemies were clearly visible on the screen. In previous games, the player would encounter battles randomly and would be taken into a different screen to carry out the battle.FF-XIII.org: Final Fantasy XIII Battle System
