faster than FFX. unless you want to actually manually enter commands you can set it to full auto (cancelable at any time) and it rips through the battles. i'd say it's the speediest turn-based battle system on PS2 (SMT: nocturne has essentially the same system, similarly speedy.)SolidSnakex said:
dunno; i didn't do any truly lengthy / elaborate attacks. i only played the first hour of the game or thereabouts. it's speedy enough that i feel like that's not a concern, especially on auto mode. the animation is cut, just like in SMT3. instead of seeing the character walk up to an enemy, you'll just see the camera cut to the enemy with the character poised in front of them, and do the attack. it looks really cool, actually. i think if you're not playing on auto you might see more of the animation, since it's fully turn-based (not ATB type) and thus may as well fill in the time of your choices with animations. not 100% positive here, it's been awhile since i touched it or nocturne, and i haven't gotten deep into either one of them.Semjaza Azazel said:
