What FF game do you think had the best battle system,

[Gizmo_Duck]

For me, it’s either XII or rebirth

 

[Khalil's_Black_Excellence]

Rebirth for action. XIII for turn based, just too bad it takes 3/4th of the game to get you fully there.

I wouldn’t know I bushed that game after like 10 hours

13 and I will die on this hill

 

[Diunx]

12 by far.

I do like that in X they force you to use the different skills from the characters, something missing in a lot of JRPGs nowadays.

 

[Illuminatos]

I’m going with X.

OG 7 was my favorite
Runner up to 13
The recent ones are fun but don't feel "Final Fantasy" enough for me.
I'll you what though, if Square takes notes from Expedition 33 and jacks elements from their battle system I'm not gonna be mad at all.

There really isn't a difference in the core battle system mechanics from the original NES games until 10.

12 is the first major departure, 13 was a variation of the previous core systems, 15 is the move to action oriented gameplay and 16 fully embraced action. Remake to me has a lot of similarities to 15.

I think 12 is the most unique of the games in away. Its pretty much an off-line MMO but none of the other mainline games play like it. If you including non-mainline games than its Tactics clearly.

Tactics
12
Remake

in order for me.

I feel like rating the progression/side systems is a more interesting conversation.
