Theres alot of disinformation going around from misinterpretation of the footage from the trailer.
The game isnt an action game. It is clear there is an ATB bar under the character names, but characters continue auto-attacking when it isnt their turn.
The attack comand is a strong attack. The auto-attacks are weak attacks.
The defend command beeing an option sugests you dont have a real time control of your character actions.
Its an evolution of the ATB system doing away with the nosense, but its not removing it and making it an ARPG like FFXV.
There was alot of disinformation going around, so i thought this thread was necessary.
It's not an ATB gauge (under the character's name).
The bar depletes and fills up as you attack. Watch carefully around the 1:25 mark:
An ATB bar fills up over time and when it's full, it's that character's turn. This is not the case here.
It is very difficult to see if it fills up by itself aswell, but it does look like attacking fills it up faster. Even if it isnt an ATB bar the principle is the same. Though it leaves me wondering what it means from a party perspective.
It was said in the interview that it wouldnt be just an ARPG, so i keep wondering how much control we actually have.
