Watch the gameplay on the Nintendo UK 8-hour video, the ones from NintendoEveryhting and others are just rough.

Yeah thanks for that. I was watching the footage earlier on that channel and it was just so slow looking. Looks a lot more smooth now.



I hope the sound effects are improved. The sound in XCX was some of the worst I heard in a modern AA game. The footsteps almost forced me to stop playing the game.



It's wonderful.

Color me intrigued.



Looks good so far, let's just hope it won't have many issues with the frame-rate!

wow combat is very differnt...
auto attacks -> charge normal arts -> normal arts charge elemental arts.

okay, this reminds abit me of Final Fantasy XI (a mmo).... its kinda like a TP system.

No more auto attacking while moveing, you have to stay stationary to attack at all.

Most healing is via makeing enemies drop potions?

This isn't the first time they've tried an alternative healing concept.  They did it in XCX too.  Most healing is done via the Soul Voice system.  I think it comes down to the fact that Sharla was a rather unpopular character in most people's parties in the original XC.  I imagine you will still be able to, if you wish, have a character with some good healing abilities without the combat-driven healing system, there just won't be a dedicated healer.

And the combat is different but the foundations are still similar.  What I like is that auto attacks charge your arts but your other blades charge on a timer and when they fully charge, all their arts are charged.  So you actually have at any given time 3 arts charging via auto attacks and up to 6 charging via timer.  I also like that you now have 2 kinds of chain attack, the new kind where the elemental specials can be chained together for a big finish in real time and the old school chain attack from XC that lets you instantly launch your high level arts.

I doubt it will; the first game was stable 99% of the time and XCX was practically locked.
