Games: Real Time vs. Turn Base

[Thoza]

what ??? turn based ???
some body finish Final Fantasy XII ??

[archangle]

i would have to go with real time it 's just better

[Spider]

although turn based is enjoyable I'd have to say Realtime is much better. It requires far more thinking and quick decision making, hence it being more of an intellectual challenge. And i do love challenging myself :P

i love both. i love turned based rpg's and real time for fps'. they are both equally as good as the other in my opinion

doesn't Kingdom Hearts I and II get the love though for being a real time rpg? I loved that game, in fact I can't wait for the next title in the series, the cutscenes for it looked phenomenal

[silkshadow]

ive played kh 1 and i really didnt find it to fit in the rpg in the old sense of rpg anyway

Oh I loved those games, did you ever finish it, or did you just putter around on the starting island? personally I suggest you go back, replay the first one, get the perfect ending for the extra cutscene, then pick up the second one and kick ass w/ it too, I loved the drive modes on the second one, they were fun and not as hard to lvl up as ppl claimed, and some of the reaction commands and extra moves sora only got during major fights looked great, especially during the sephiroth fight in the second one, I didn't like it during the first one b/c I got killed way too many times

i beat the first one a few months after it came out, but i've yet to even play the second one. i took it form my bros room to play one day but... i just never got around to it. does the second one measure up to the first one?

oh it was great, there are one or two things that take a little getting used to but I did pretty much the same thing w/ it that I did w/ the first one, which was the day it came out, I sat my ass down in a chair and played for 12 hours straight and was happy about it, they did get rid of the whole trinity move thing from the first one, but they added the drive forms which are great, I especially like valor, master, and final form, wisdom drive form was good too, but it's strength really lay w/ the most powerful version of any spell, just keep using it until mana taps out, then it's got hyper mana regen in that form so you can start casting again in a sec or two, and I will say this, when you get to the Coliseum and are doing the tournaments, the later ones where you have to get those point scores to fill out the journal entry towards a completed journal and thus a perfect game for the newest hidden cutscene, use stitch of lilo and stitch fame, that little bastard can rack up points like no one else when you do his little lute move, but to maximize your results, get everyone in camera view when you do it, even if they are only barely in the edge, that's not as hard as it might sound since you can move the camera when you enter that mode after summoning him, you'll see, have fun, and kick ass
