I watched it. He said its a mix. But the ATB bar is there. The question is how many real time elements there will be. Is it just the characters auto-attacking instead of standing there? Does the AI take their turns automatically? Does it wait for our input, but obviously the action won't pause.

What seems clear is that they are doing what they should. They are trying to evolve the ATB system and not do away with it and make an ARPG ala FFXV.

A good observation, I wonder if it will be like the character actions are done by you but you don't have direct control. So you say 'Attack' and they do, flashy animation and all. MAybe there is no AI and the secondary character's actions are inputted by you. Each AI character would have to know how to use each and every combination of magic if it's placed on them, if Barret has heal, he should know when to use it. If Tifa has Lightning and you fight a robot the character should know to use it. The best way for all of that to happen is if we are the ones telling them directly in battle.

 

I will say the movement, areas and graphics look exactly as expected.



Hmm, pie.
