I am so scared for FFXV right about now... Time to kill Square

Hey Marii is amazing don't kill her!

I've already given up on Square Enix, but there's still a small hope that XV will be decent at best

Dw, she wasn't harmed during her representation of what should be done to Square

I don't get it. Except for the MMOs all FFs had a one button battle system. It's called turn based and there is just one button to confirm actions. FF1-6 were especially brutal one button mashers.

I think we are more scared of this:

Than anything else

At least you had to use actual buttons. FF12 was played by just the left analog stick.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Some of you aren't understanding. The battle system is a system where if you're close to an enemy, maybe the action will change automatically to attack but when you're close to an ally, it may change to cure or white magic.

You won't be choosing the action, only confirming it with one button.

That's it. SE is dead. 

In all seriousness, that's pretty dumb.

Wait if all actions can be confirmed with one button, what're the other buttons being used for?

Maybe it'll be a mobile game but then why would they specifically mention buttons....

Jesus, they will award patents to anything.

This stuff makes me shake my head. Not because square enix is going to implement it, but now other developers need to worry about "infringing" on this system. So now no other developers can have a battle system based on distance because square "patented" this.

Exactly the biggest issue that I have with this, it just ruins it for everyone else.

it's like if someone patents menu based combat =.=
