Really?  Maybe you should look at the trailer again.  All the fights seem to take place in a circular arena surrounded by a cheering audience.  now, obviously it isn't a fighting game which is why I said almost.  However, you could easily cut out bits of the trailer and most people would think it is a fighting game with characters doing all sorts of special moves.  It isn't that far of leap...


It looks like the battle screen of literally any 3D turn-based RPG, dude. It's just dressed like an arena, because there's a clear running them of fame, live television, and being an idol in this game. Almost all the characters appear on posters throughout the trailer, as if they were famous. It's set dressing, like the TVs in P4. None of the characters in those arenas were moving around like one would in a fighting game. They were being animated like Pokemon doing attacks in a Stadium game, only your Pokemon are around the outer layers circle while the enemy Pokemon are in the center of it.

The moves look like "special moves" in fighting games because "special moves" in fighting games are just context sensitive cutscenes, which is literally a concept stolen from attack animations in turn based RPGs. This game looks literally nothing like a fighting game.
