I don't think its complicated. This all makes sense. It is very much in tune with what has been said by Tabata about the game so far. Yes the patents don't paint the whole picture... but it does put a lot in perspective.

I don't think it will be complicated either. But the way you try to claim to know how everything will work based on nothing but conjectures and assumptions... 

Sorry, but no. Things might end up partly like what you describe. Especially when it comes to the gambit used for party members other than Noctis. Could be that part of the strategies will be to position Noctis at certain distances from other party member to trigger specific abilities. Basically, their actions being influenced based on what you do with Noctis. I could see this being the case, yes. Will those gambits be customizable similar to what they are in XII? Or will they be set in stone and just trigger based on what you'll do with Noctis? Who knows. 

But to go and claim to understand every specifics about the combat system from these speculations? If there's one thing I've learned from the hype that went on before XIII released, is that you shouldn't look too deep into things as vague as a patent like this and try to make more of them than what they actually are.

Proper explanations of the battle system will come. Until then, people, including you, know next to nothing about it. 

Errr, don't know where or how I or anyone claimed to understand all the details. In my OP I said i would try and answer qustions based on what I understand from the docs. That doesn't mean anything is written in stone. And all this does is just give a general idea of how the system works. If nothing else, we at least know that they are heavily employing the gambit system from FF12 and now one such modifier is position and distance. We also know that a hold action is used in the games control scheme from what Tabata himself said.

You are making it sound like all these assumptions or analysis are just pulled outta people asses. Thats far from the case. And what gives, at worst people, including me may be wrong about whatever we are saying here, that doesn't mean we can't say it. And i also made it clear that this info was got from patent details. Any sane thinking person should know that that should be taken with a pinch of salt.
