Desperation+ Patch

Never played ff7 but I really liked it in ff8.  Finding game balance is always tough but isn't feeling a lil overpowered the trick to rpgs?  I personally would like a gauge meter or some sort of indicator of when the limit break is reached. (maybe a glow or arrow of some sort).  I don't like how it currently only works at random with a character at low health...  I would rather have it select-able   at all hp levels but increase chances if some party members are dead, stoned, zombied..  basically like the whole crisis level they had.

I guess we're coming from different places with respect to RPGs.  I prefer the feeling of overcoming something more powerful than my characters to the feeling of my characters being overpowered.

To be fair, I'd be more open to FF8's system if you simply canned the ability to skip a whole bunch of turns in order to bring up a limit break.  I think that was the major design flaw that ruined that limit break system IMO.  It's honestly one of the factors that makes the entire game unreplayable for me despite having an okay time my first time through.  Limit breaks lose all sense of being special if you can essentially bring one up every turn. I'd still prefer FF7's though.
