What combat system should i use?

Ok im makeing a single player rpg and i was thinking of makeing a Final Fantasy type combat system with random encounters and turnbased fighting ..

or should i just do random encounters using warcraft3s combat style just changing the cameras when an encounter occurs

or should i just say forget it and do normal wc3 style encounters and combat?

Thanks for any advice.

The turn-based idea would probably be good for true RPG fans (like myself), but you'd have to admit.. the average B.Net'r won't bother to sit still with something like that.

So I say option 2 'Encounter zoom-on'


Of course, if it's going to be single-player, you should stick with option 1 'turn-based'. Just be aware of the trigger nightmare it may end up as.


Should'a made this a poll.

What do you want to do?
What CAN you do?
What do you feel like doing?
Don't let the community decide for you if the details are by you.
All three systems are fine. Which suits you best? Which can you make to the best of your ability?
Come up with one, and tell us. We'll give you feedback then. Right now, the community can help. But you really should follow your mapmakingnessense

Blah blah blah !

Make a Turn based Combat style !
