[quote name="Damocles"][quote name="newer guy"][quote name="whydirt"]I have yet to play a Jap-style CRPG that has a better in-game battle system than Grandia II. [/quote]Also, Suikoden III had one of the worst in-game battle systems of all-time. What a fucking decline from the spectacular 2nd.[/quote]Agreed. Fucking pair system... it makes half your characters useless during every round of every fight, and forced you to choose between intelligent party setup and being able to do most of the two character combos. Plus, it didn't have the incredible SPEED of the other Suikoden games' combat, which was the entire reason they were fun. Oh, and whoever coupled a system where you can't directly move people and area effect spells that AFFECT YOUR OWN CHARACTERS deserves to be shot. Fire runes were bread and butter in both of the earlier games, but were useless and dangerous in III.[/quote]
