What do you guys think of it?

For those that don't know:
QUOTE said:
Characters attack automatically, while the player selects various "Arts" such as "Light Heal" or "Shadow Eye" and other pompously named abilities. Allies tend to fight of their own accord, and as the characters battle, they fill up a "Party Gauge" that allows for "Chain Attacks" to be used.
-Taken from a Destructoid news page

Here's some battle footage- not necessarily new, but some haven't seen it yet:


There are 3 characters that you can have in your party at one time. You will only be able to move the character that you have selected. The other two will act on their own, much like FFXIIs system.

I personally find that this system seems a little odd and... simply put, boring. I'm not a fan of FFXIIs battle system, but as it stands, it does look better than Xenoblade's to me at the moment.

Eh i have to disagree. Have you played xenoblade yet? If not, for some reason it just feels a lot smoother than FFXII's did. And i absolutely hated the battle system in FFXII. But this i can deal with. Still waiting for english release though, hopefully with either good voice acting or the original dub.

    I wanna grab a 360 Slim and a 360 E one of these days. Missed the boat of getting them at their lowest though, once they were discontinued. Could've got them for cheap back when I was a broke 20 something working at Target, but then again, I was a broke 20 something working at Target
