Final Fantasy has great storylines which is why I buy them, however I hate turn based fighting, seems so slow and innapropriate, like sumthing thrown in the game so the story line doesnt develop too fast.

Secret of Mana/Evermore or Kingdom Hearts are my fave battle systems, I love fast paced action and I feel that I shouldn't have to rely on a number to determin if an attack hits or misses me. However these games lack in story when compared with the Final Fantasy.

But I think the battle system is much more important, I loved KH so much and played it all the time, but I got sick of FFX because I hated battling and really just wanted to see the story unfold. FFX just seemed like a big movie, and when it came to a battle, that was like a commercial break in the story.

I'd so much like to see remakes of FF games, say FFVII, but only with much better graphics and a Kingdom Hearts Style gameplay. The FFVII characters in KH looked so awesome.
