Details from another forum.

- The battle system in FFXV is Active Cross Battle (AXB)

- Timing, positioning and direction is key in battle

- Key inputs are: An attack button, a defend button, a skill button, a magic button, a jump button and a warp button (so much for one button battle)

- Holding defend button to evade drains MP, you cannot do it for as long as you want and must choose wisely when to use it. Some attacks will require more advanced evasion by timing a button press just right

- Attack button is used for basic combos. The different weapons used in these combos are based on a gambit-like system the player can deck out where a certain weapon is used depending on a certain condition, the condition being determined by the player

- Skill button is used to do special attacks with the main weapon you choose to equip, the effects of these special attacks changing depending on the type of weapon chosen. Timing and position is key to these advanced attacks

- The sword barrier seen in reveal footage is still in and can be used defensively as well as offensively (projectiles)

- You can do short warps in the battlefield to cover more ground in attacks and combos, you can also parry attacks

- There will be lots of tactical aspects in battle for core games, like elemental weaknesses and so on

- You can join your party members for special dual / triple tech attack combos. These are not one-offs and can be executed continuously so long as you parry the attack

- Because of the unique gameplay aspects of warping and the many summonable weapons that will be used throughout in battle and field play, Noctis is the only playable character, but his unique combat style and how the party interacts with him in battles is what drives the entire battle system

- Other party members can be controlled via gambits, will level up and can be deckout out at will

Not liking XV (too Devil May Cry for Final Fantasy), but I know people are looking forward to it.

I don't think its gameplay gonna be as complex as DMC though, to me it just sound like where your character is position on the battle field is important as to what attack is done......I'm personally loving it so far

The last 3(?) FF games had a female lead. People just complaining for the sake of it.

And subsequently it was a collection of the weakest FF games in creation. Japan doesn't know how to write complex females. Its either hyper-feminine and pseudo-helpless (Serah, Rikku ect) or a mega-stoic, emotionless, killing machine (Light, Lulu, ect)

Fang was the only female in a traditional FF I actually enjoyed because she didn't look, sound or act like a typical FF trope. And the fact that her and Vanille were OBVIOUSLY lesbians. :manny:

Looks good, but still too early to tell. I'm copping anyway tho. Whether it be for PS4 or PS5.



Still wish it would've stayed like Kingdom Hearts tho :mjcry:
