Yea probably, but FF10 had a good QTE thing where you had to press buttons in sequence to get the full limit attack.

If it's something like that i can live with it, because that requires you to have more skill in timing buttons presses.

Did limit breaks work sort of like mist/quickenings in FF12?

Sort of, depends which character's overdrive limit you used.

You would have to stop a pointer in the correct spot on a bar, only had a few seconds to do it.

or

A set of up down left right QTE button presses (space chanel 5) kind of thing.

Can't remember all of them, but it added a bit of variation to the battle from time to time.

From what i remember each character had several different Overdrive limits also.

Developers should go back to the drawing board and find a way for players to pull off these moves in realtime, and stop relying so much on QTEs.

That's assuming everyone wants real time JRPG's and i think you will find the majority don't.

Or at least the Majority of exsisting fans.

I also have to pose the question: how is QTE not realtime?

Sure, more happens when you press a button than what's usually assigned to that button, but when does stuff stop being context sensitive and start being un-realtime?

Also, what good would it do if games like God of War had special buttons for.. I dunno.. Throwing your blade chain thingy into the eyes of bosses and stuff and that button only works for that particular moment on that particular boss?

I think QTE when used lightly with good measure only enhances gameplay in a really natural way. It's a step away from "micro management" of your moves and into something vastly more surprising and thus suspenseful.
