Battle systems you'd hate to see again.

So which RPG had the most annoying battle system in your opinion?

I loathed Magna Karta's battle system. Mainly because it was crap.

I'll go more into detail later since I kind of in a rush.

FFVIII wasn't my favorite. Really, though, nothing horrible stands out at the moment.

I can tell you, however, the ones I really enjoyed.

Ones I liked:

FFX
Star Ocean 3
Chrono Cross

[Matron]

I also liked FFX's system, as well as FFX-2's system, the way it let you change jobs in battle, to suit your needs.

To be honest, I've never really liked anything but your basic turn based system until the last year or so. probably because it's what I started playing and got used to. I know that I still really suck at games like Zelda and Kingdom Hearts, and I hate it, because I really want to play them, but I get sick of dying all the damn time. Anything that requires reflexes and jumping around and such, I'm no good at.

I didn't mind SO3's system, but, it wasn't all that bad either. I've never encountered something like that.

Xenosaga Ep 2 didn't do much for me. I never got into the robot things you could use.

But I will praise the almighty Grandia battle system for the umpteenth time!

[Abominari]

SaGa Frontier

[Phakiel]

FFXII's.
I just didnt like it at all. I thought it was unnatural. I dont play MMORPGs so the new system felt a bit awkward and honestly I hated it completely and hope we never see it again.

Phantom Brave/Makai Kingdom
That stupid ring of crap, totally was a bust for me. Couldnt get into it.

Beyond the Beyond, PERIOD. I loathed that game for the first five minutes I played it and the last five minutes I played it. See, it was so horrible I only played it for an half an hour and that was too long.

[Blackdragon]

Growlanser: Heritage of The King had a boring battle system to me. I got past the first part of the beginning and never wanted to play it afterwards. I found myself losing interest so quickly it was amazing. Needless to say, I got a little over half what I paid for it in trade-in value. Hopefully another one of those won't see the light of day.

[Sibek]

I didn't like the first two Xenosaga battle systems at all. They were way too convoluted for non-boss battles.

Judges from Final Fantasy Tactics advance can also rot in the deepest pits of hell.

[Mark]

Not a fan of the Xenosaga systems...however I think Xenogears was one of the if not THE best battle system ever...Ironic eh?

[Sushi_b]

Super Hydlide was pretty terrible on the Genesis. Goodness, I remember the character had a weight carrying limit and as soon as you got even 1 point over it you walked slower then a turtle on the map screen. It was horrible. Not only that but the game as a whole just sucks.

I'm not a fan of Secret of the Stars either. That battle system was really boring and I really hated the stupid characters jumping on screen to do battle. It's just garbage.

[Indigo]

Yeah so FFXII's battle system made me puke because, lets face it, wall you had to do was walk around. Unless you are an idiot and can't work the gambit system.
