Forums - Gaming Discussion - Final Fantasy XV Changes Up Its Weapon Switching System

- Final Fantasy XV director Hajime Tabata made his first post on the game's official forum:

https://forum.finalfantasyxv.com/discussion/comment/4276#Comment_4276

where he shared changes to the game's battle system:

To put it simply, the new change makes it so that you can switch through your weapons while attacking, rather than having preset weapons for the attacks. Tabata noted that it might be a little complicated, but he shared the following details for those of you that are interested.

- real-time weapons will be assigned to directional buttons (D-Pad) and you switch to them in real-time

- In the Episode Duscae demo there was the  Break→Rush→Slash system, which  has now been changed in order to prevent the unintended weapon switch timings that came with it, and the real-time weapon switching system will now allow you to pull off the consecutive attacks with any of the main weapons while switching through in real-time at your command.

So instead of setting weapons for each of Break, Rush, and Slash, the new system will offer more options for you to change things up while pulling off combos. Hopefully we’ll learn more about it in the near future with some visual demonstrations.

- As for attacks such as Counter and Raid (Jump attack) that are done directly from the player’s command, you can pull them off with the main weapons if they’re not set to anything, but you’ll still get to set weapons and have it switch to them as well.

Seems like the game will have more attack options.

maybe I'm getting old but I've never been this "nonhyped" (is that even a word?) for a FF game ever.



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

And shepherds we shall be,

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

As someone who's never enjoyed the Final Fantasy series I gotta say I'm probably gonna get this game, so if that's their intention with this game it works at least, well for me anyway.



There's only 2 races: White and 'Political Agenda'
2 Genders: Male and 'Political Agenda'
2 Hairstyles for female characters: Long and 'Political Agenda'
2 Sexualities: Straight and 'Political Agenda'

Great. I didn't like the old preset weapons system on the demo.



I personally think this is smart. They're going for an real time action combat system so it make sense to give players more direct agency over their attacks.

Director posts something that fans asked about combat? Complains.
Director dont post and dont talk ? Complains.
Director made 3 ATR in the space of 2 months to talk about the game ? Complains.
Tabata made a character older ? Complains.
Tabata changed the name of one main character ? End of the world.

Final fantasy fans complain a lot.

There's a lot to complain about though.  Just food for thought, there isn't a game series (I can't even think of ANY series in ANY medium tbh) out there that has had as many changes as FF has.  Whether that's good or bad is up to you.  The power is yours



Lube Me Up

This is good news for me.I found quite strange that each type of atack was "atached" to a weapon.This way it seems more fluid to me and seems more fun.But my real complaint about this game is the setting.Just return to the medieval fantasy setting.Vastly superior to this futuristic one.(Most of the time anyway)



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.
