I like my turn-based/ATB battle systems, though. : (
The 13 games all have ATB based systems. Lightning Returns just uses the ATB to determine how often and how quickly you can act instead of having to fill up the bar to attack at all.

Look, I got lost on the way to getting some jajangmyeon and it'd be foolish to leave now.

Yeah, that's part of the reason I haven't been following the newer games since XII, really. Don't care much for the genre change. : (
FF is still a JRPG, the genre hasn't changed, it's just the settings that change.

Isn't FF meant to be a turn-based RPG, though?
It's hard to be turn based when you only play as one person and there's no party and the system is based around accurate guards and switching dresses. The ATB is still there even. FF has always done weird things with their combat systems, and traditional turn based systems are pretty much going away in the JRPG world outside of NIS or Vanillaware titles. FF15 is going for a more action RPG system as well.

Personally I lost interest in FF after 7 -_- and in all honestly I think Square focused way too much on the character customization than the actual game itself. Not a fan of the new combat system either
The combat system is great though! It's like almost an action game!
H.M.S. Strumpet
From the deck came the sounds of singing, the able-bodied men and women that made this vessel glide were celebrating as they went about squaring away their duties, be it climbing to the crow's nest or minding the rigging. And what better time to celebrate than now, as the H.M.S. Strumpet took to the seas, leaving a smoking wreckage in its wake. Not an hour previous the Strumpet had engaged with a pirate ship, one captained by a freshly made man, no doubt following some sort of mutiny. The crew was inexperienced, a trait unbecoming of any pirate who claims to be worth their salt, but it worked out well for the Strumpet and her captain.
Maebh Brannagh stepped onto the deck, the wind blowing her hair and her coat as she stepped through the doors of her cabin. In her hand was a small, tattered map, barely legible and about as useful as a sailor who got seasick. The map, or rather the scrap, had been handed over, after a cold barrel of Maebh's flintlocks had been pressed right up against the forehead, by the generous newly crowned pirate captain. He and his crew, deceased now God save 'em, had gotten a bit fiesty over the rumors of a treasure. Easily duped into foolish pursuits, pirates. Easily duped.
Still, Maebh wasn't an idiot, and any man who would cling so hopelessly to a worthless scrap of paper either believes that the rumors are true and worth dying for, or they have fooled themselves into thinking their cause wasn't a lost one. "The Touch of Midas, was it?" Maebh spoke, heavily accented, aloud the name of the treasure the pirate captain had spoke. "Mister Hatcher," Maebh called to her First Officer, a good lad, Irish - which went a long way in Maebh's eyes, bit brutish in the heart of sieging, but what good Irishman or Irishwoman didn't get a bit rowdy in a conflict? "You an educated man, Mister Hatcher?" Maebh asked, stepping up the stairs towards the wheel, "Don't respond to that, of course you ain't, not if you're hunting pirates with me." Maebh gave a chuckle, and she silenced some of the crew who took that as their cue to laugh as well, "What's your take on this Touch of Midas thing? Worth pursuing?"
Maebh had already made up her mind, but giving the illusion that her First Officer has an input - and he did, on several issues - worked wonders for the idea of consulting a sharper mind. Maebh had no need for treasure, if it even existed, but her goal wasn't in riches. If this no name pirate had been obsessing with the Touch of Midas, enough to rally a crew, there had to be something to it. And that would mean more pirates, and that would mean no end to the prizes that mark the Strumpet's history.
"Your input, Mister Hatcher, before I take silence as agreement and we embark on a fool's errand." Maebh crossed her arms, but not before handing the tattered scrap to Mister Hatcher. He was probably better at reading maps than she, though she'd never admit that. While sober.

Gah! I need one more person to post before me, but Erran's MIA right now and I think Fabri's asleep....again >.>Oh and not a big fan of Lightning Returns as I thought I'd be :/
If I'm not sleeping I'm probably at work or thinkin about sleeping.
Also, I'm an unapologetic fan of FF13 and Lightning Returns is silly. I like the combat but it's a silly, silly game. It helps if you treat it as a dress up game. That's what I'm doing. Playing dress up with Lightning.

I thought all the classes were already done theres more after lunch?
There's none that will be shown. When lunch ends it's a time skip to the end of classes.
Hopefully lunch will be more free-form, give people more chances for their characters to interact with others. I'm gonna let lunch go on as long as it needs to even though this is still technically the first school day.
