They removed the hold the button down to attack thing. Immediate points just for that. Its a teleport now.

I'm still worried the combat will get repetitive and stale fast, but the game is looking better now.

You still hold down the O button to do consecutive attacks.



But don't confuse the consecutive attacks to being the equivalent of multiple "Attack" commands in older FF games. It's not. If you take a look at the damage each hit deals in the Demo, you'll notice that a full string of attacks is more like the equivalent of one single Attack in FFX.
The difference being that in FFX, once you chose Attack, you'll simply deal the damage, and that's that.
There's more to it here. In FFXV, you'll have the choice to customize your combo attack on the fly for more, or less, damage. You may for example want to go for less damage (cut the combo short and evade, or ignore switching to a slower harder hitting weapon as a combo ender) to avoid an incoming attack from behind. This gives interesting depth to the combat system, and I'm looking forward to seeing how it unfolds in the full game.

I seem to have misread it then. Thought the Blitz was the teleport.

Well... i take my previous post back. I'm no longer interested again. Boring combat. If there was control over every slash i could've tolerated it. I don't enjoy holding down the button and auto-attacking.
