Well I played both for probably an hour or two each, and both were fine. Though considering I am used to playing FFXI, I am used to active mode, if you are hesitate you are dead and I like that. Makes you feel like you are actually in a tense situation, that there is a battle for your life going on and that you have to win, freezing because you are confused means you die. While that is a little harse, it does make the gameplay more interesting. Plus it turns away from the standard of RPGs that time freezes, while in wait I do find it easier to deal out commands because I am not rushed for time, I find the pause a little annoying. Why because I am used to moving and calling out commands at the same time, heck in FFXI I am used to auto walk for a few seconds so I can hit down a command or type something up and make course corrections. I am stalling time still, but I know that at any moment there could be an enemy I need to fight, just keeps you on your toes.
But definitely without a question I love the active mode, I can be running towards the monster and knock out the commands at the same time and keep the flow unchanged.
I enjoyed the demo a lot and ended up just running around and around killing things getting my practice in because it was so much fun to play, I know played the active mode a lot more. I like Ashe because she seems to be a heavy hitter unlike Vaan. Though I do find it interesting that everyone has magic. Though I have trying to figure out if the wait and active mode active the MP regen any, which seems to be the only thing that regens, its unfortunate that the HP does not.
