Hajime Tabata wants to make Final Fantasy XV "more casual, one button action"

Also, guys, I can understand the fear because he used the forbidden word "casual".
But has everybody suddenly forgot everything else Tabata has said about the combat? He said a lot of interesting stuff already, let's not fixate on this "casual" thing.

my fear is they making it very automatic, i dont want a game that plays by itself :S

that is why i love old school final fantasy combat, you have to make every decision , you control every character and everything

He's saying that the moves will be performed in a very simple way. But maybe you have to decide the better angle of attack (I think he already said that), your location on the battlefield, which spells to use, how to better use your companions, quickly react to an incoming attack... there are A LOT of variables, specially on an rpg with a real-time combat system. I remember one the things Tabata said is how well the game "flows", and you have to consider the "environment" or the weather. The genre is not about the intricate combo systems, but rather about the strategy/planning/decision-making. Every rpg has "one-button" systems really.

I'm REALLY curious about this game's battle system. The demo cannot come soon enough.
