Wow, an actual new Mana game. Looks quite rough from the trailer but going to keep an eye on it. If the dress-spheres, sorry, class-changes, work mid-fight I could see myself enjoy that combat system.
Make fun of it all you want, but I really liked X-2 and the dress sphere concept
Still the best implementation of ATB they ever did.
I genuinely did, either. Not actually making fun of it. Everyone hated X-2, and there I was seemingly having a better time with it than with X!
I hate X-2 with the burning fury of a thousand suns, and I'll still praise the combat.
Oh? Whys that? (And what did you think of X?)
I hated X because I found most of the characters sans Auron and Lulu to be incredibly obnoxious.
X-2 just made those problems worse by largely getting rid of the few characters I could tolerate, and somehow making Rikku even more annoying.
It says something about how good the combat was in those games that I managed to power my way thru X and a fair chunk of X-2 before it just got to be too much for me.
