Forums - Sony - FF7 is turn-based, but without pauses in the action.

Kowan on 05 December 2015

I say let us wait. FFXV originally had a different battle system, and remember FF13's initial action based battle system? Look at how that changed. Things change and judging on how change is very common on Square-enix' recent game announcements have been I expect great changes to be made on this one as well. Remember this is the FIRST ever footage of its gameplay and they tend to show very early concept systems on their first footage.

Never noticed that when watching it for the first time..

Hard to tell, so maybe when more information is released, then it will become clearer

If you look closely, you can see what looks to be cloud and Barrett performing their first limit breaks, big shot and braver once the fighting starts. Could be wrong but that's what it looks like.

I dont see how somethign can be turn based and not have stop in the action at the same time, arent those 2 things mutualy exclusive ? Anyway I tought it looked great, the voice acting was kinda meh tough.

I didn't mind the acting as much as the snycing.

From what I've noticed:

  • Every time a character attacks, the first large gauge next to their name fills up.
  • The first gauge goes lower after not attacking for a while.
  • Then when it's full and it turns red, the character uses a more powerful attack.

What if those more powerful attacks are the equivalent of Commands? Instead of your ATB filling with TIME, it fills with ATTACKS.

 

The ATB has evolved, and it's freakin epic, believe it!

So it's a bit like a Xenoblade/Dragon Age just with a character switch.

Or you know, FF12-ish. Which is what Xenoblade takes a lot from.

you're essentially correct, and those saying otherwise are just playing with semantics

a turn based game, RPG or otherwise, requires a literal pause for a player to make decisions. Games with real time action where you pick from hot key attacks or item options or whatever are obviously not turn based

You realize that almost every FF has not been like this....

Unless you purposely set the ATB to Wait, there is never any literal pause for a player to make decisions, except for Final Fantasy X.

Everything's unclear really, let's just wait for more info.

besides, the game is very very early in development and it could change drastically from what we've just seen.


What? That's crazy talk!

 

We need to strongly voice our displeasure about any sort of rumor now, instead of waiting for facts or official information. 

That way we can help ruin the excitement for everyone. That's what it's all about these days, isn't it?



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
