Yes it did. They were built in though and they were very effective. Like when your guy is using a bow he does not draw a melee weapon and start attacking the enemy. He actually looks for weapons that suit his training and whatnot. So you don't get the mage that decides to use his dagger over a fireball and you don't get a fireball being used on a fire elemental.

All in all it was a neat little game. The fact that you didn't have to assign gambits yourself was awesome. If you were poisoned your guy would drink an antidote. All you needed to do was talk to people and move your guys around. Like FF12 minus all the nerdy comupter jock gambit crap. By the way we call those switches.

I am not bashing on FF12 here. I like the game but I think in a nutshell the reason I hate other gamers is because they are letting themselves get cheated by companies.

hotdog losing self-control...can't hold back game name for much longer.

Too the other two. I like new things being added. But only if they work and add to the gameplay without ruining a working game system. You should download Starless Umbra. He just added the whole tech system and it did nothing to diminish the gameplay. It just added a very simple and easy thing that let's you feel like you have more control over character development. Which is the real reason why Diablo 2 was so big. People loved the story. People loved the gameplay. People loved the ability to create a semi-unique character. Those three things alone make any game lovable. New things should be tryed out yes. But they should at least do extensive testing and try to finish it before releasing it.

As I said before though. NonGayMan and KA. If you play some older DOS games you will come to find out that a lot of these "new things" are actually age old systems...back in the day when nerds were truly geniuses and were limited only by the lack of technology. I bet if you took someone from that time and compared them from someone from todays "Believe in what I believe in because I am your parent." time. You would get better results from 14 years ago. Why? Because back then no one limited their kids and hindered their progress. No one has a good imagination anymore. Don't believe me look at the drawings for most new games. Men dressing like new age boy band fags with rather revealing clothing. Women dressing like stupid spoiled whores. Machines that make absolutely no sense and look like they have a penis. Spaceships that are drawn and look like penises. Aliens that look like they have vaginas for mouths. People who have overly retarded hair would be acceptable at least you could say you imagined it. But making things look like a penis is unacceptable. And making people dress like prostitutes is also unacceptable.
