Active Time Battle (ATB) system like early Final Fantasy games

I thought that was only introduced at FF4 (middle age final fantasies). I mean FF1,2 and 3 all used turn based fights. FF4,5,6,7,8 and 9 used ATB. FF10 used the same sort of battle system HoMaM 5 used. FF12 sort of used a real time ATB system. FF13 used a variant of ATB that allowed you to use many abilities per turn.

You are correct. I didn't fact check

ATB is going away next big patch so I can shift the game's focus to tactical strategy

It's still a great map, I would definitely play it out a bit.

Urg skill trees, I could swear people disproved their usefulness years ago.

Looks pretty cool I do admit. Might try it later.

But they're fun to design! Is it any better than items can grant skill bonuses like in Diablo 2?

this looks neat. Even though I don't play SC2 anymore.

Just log in and try it out. It is not like you have to make a contractual obligation to play SC2 for a minimum length of time every time you want to play a single arcade map. You do not even need to own SC2 now to play Arcade games.

 

[Chaosy]

I bought the original SC2 (wings of liberty was it?) and completed the campaign. Then I just stopped. Is that really enough to play custom maps?

Is that really enough to play custom maps?

More than enough, you do not even need to buy any of the SC2's at all to play arcade games.

 

[Heinvers]

That's good to hear. This looks appealing and it's saying: "play me NOW!*
