She said Etro in the trailer, so looks like they are going deeper into the lore this time which is good as the lore for the game was great. I am mildly interested, that might turn into more after gameplay details come out. I hope its more open, I hope towns come back. They can keep the battle system, that was good.


They can keep the basis of the battle system, but still improve on it.  Allow us to control the entire party directly if we so wish.  

And seriously, Square-Enix, don't force us through a 20 hours long tutorial before giving us the full scope of the battle system.  Geez.

I don't know how that would work, seeing how the battle system is so fast-paced. I personally wouldn't be able to control all 3 members. Can you imagine, trying to beat the turtles while controlling your Medic, Synergist and Ravager? That would be impossible!


Just do something like in FF XII, where the action would pause while you scroll through menus.  Or they could find even better ways.  But I don't think the battle system needs to be THAT fast to begin with.  Final Fantasy has always been about taking decisions based on the abilities, magics etc at your disposal.  Making it too fast prevents you from doing this, and in turn, makes you hit the Auto Fight option more often than not.  Which results in the game mostly playing itself half the time.

I honestly hope they don't change the battle system much at all really.  I thought it was awesome how fast paced it was and it was also a cool twist how most of your strategy for battles came from the preporation before hand rather than just picking from a set of spells and attacks and how changing your party paradrigm would drasticallly change the way they fought.  Its probably my favorite battle system of all of them.  That being said they should add more useful items for combat like weapons and useable items.

 

I also hope battle system isn't majorly changed, but some things if added, like more specific paradigms, better use of summons, no auto battle for your own character (will get rid of mashing x complaint). It could make an already good battle system even better, be open to changes to the battle system because from the press release it sounds like changes have been made, not too drastic ones though.

If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

Lmao. Truth be told, I thought he was a girl too. You just can't tell men and women apart in most JRPGs haha.

I didn't use that myself. So I wasn't just mashing X and watching. To me that was just a lazy persons way out.
