What RPGs have the most unique Battle Systems?

[executioner]

I actually enjoyed Legend of Dragoon. I thought the combat system was fun because you really had to work for your characters to get off any damage at all and it was satisfying to pull of perfect combos. I liked the Dragoon transformations too, very cool game and the story wasn't too bad at all.

Major disagreements here. Legend of dragoon combat system was obnoxiously difficult. made me yearn for the days of standard atb system.

The combat system in dragoon was enjoyable for me, it was difficult at first but after you mastered it kept you on edge trying to get the combos right otherwise I normally tend to get bored of going into three thousand random battles with the same routine.

But try putting it down for a couple months and trying to pick up where you left off! It's like trying to ride a uni-cycle....sure you get the hang of it after eating the pavement!! Not my kind of fun. It looked so pretty though...it's too bad the story and characters were so weak.

Isimply could not perform some of the combo's in legend of dragoon.

i'm going to have to play the legend of dragoon again. i beat it twice but it has been several years ago. i dont remember ever having trouble with the battle system.

The only move I ever had problem with in Legend of Dragoon was Gust Of The Wind Dance. Everything else was pretty simple.

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter. That game is so much damn fun.

I can't bring myself to enjoy the fifth installment of the series
Considering how phenomenal the others were (especially 3 and 4), Dragon Quarter made me very sad

Two games that come to mind are
Earthbound
and suprisingly Enchanted Arms for 360, although it might not have been the best rpg ever, by a long shot, I had never played a game with that type of battle system.
Koudelka was similar to Enchanted Arms, but poorly executed.

Legend of Legaia

Was definitely different.

Enchanted Arms had my favorite battle system of any RPG with the exception of the Shin Megami Tensei series. The grid system was thoroughly enjoyable, mostly unique, and it required different tactics since you had to position your characters just right ot be most effective.

Kind of like introducing a SRPG battle system into a traditional jRPG. Really good. The game itself was mediocre Square-Enix-style flamboyancy, but the battle system was more fun than any Square game. I'm considering buying the PS3 version just to play through the battle system again.
