Did you say job system
<_<
>_>
Yes it has a job system and even a system where basically characters can have two active jobs. This actually ties pretty nicely into it's battle system where you can stack turns and mix and match abilities for a kind of combo. Say a monk has an ability that powers up physical moves and then the knight has a strong physical attack. Well you have your character draw from both job's ability sets and in battle you "brave" (take early and stack your turn based moves) your moves and use those two together.
Is it a FF game? I guess, but I'm one of those people who rather have things stand on thier own. Like Lost Odyssey for many was a FF game and well to me it did'nt say FF in the title and so I just rather see it as it's own series. BD is clearly more of a callback and has more in common with FF, plus it started as one I think. Either way it is its own series now so I just see it as that, though I guess if you like FF you'll like this game. Then again I don't think FF and jrpgs have been bad at all recently, so that dosen't factor in my rush to cal BD a "true FF" game. Plus I like FF for it's high production values, unique worlds, and cinematic stylings. Things that come post FFVI basically. BD really has none of that.
