The command is called "Link Form" it is like parrying with a shield in Dark Souls for example, if you perform it in the right time you get strong counter attack.

It looks really good. Can't wait for it to come out. The video barely showed anything new though.

Yeah, I gotta say, it looks fantastic. I'm hyped. Don't let me down this time Square Enix.

Im still so unsure about this game, I love what I see but I have so many questions...and Noctus seems fly around way too much :/

We're sure this is an RPG, right? At this point this game feels like a hack-n-slash action game..

Not the biggest KH fan around, but I really can't say much until I've tried this game I suppose. Doesn't look bad, but seems to be really straying away from RPG territory it seems. Eh, as long as it's good it doesnt really matter to me :P

With all the stuff going on in the screen, the combat reminds me of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete. I can see they are aiming for that here.

That is a good description.

As a great fan of the old sprite Final Fantasy games with their lovely pixel art I just can't get warm with the art style. One of the biggest reasons I quitted with the series after IX.

Anyone whose paid attention to the trailers over the years knows that the gameplay will be a system built upon that of Kingdom Hearts. Which without question is an RPG. This game looks to be no different.
Considering Final Fantasy has never been about the combat, since they literally change it with every iteration, I hope that's not the reason why some old school fans dislike it. The Shimomura in the music is obvious, but I think she really talented so that's a plus. What matters is the Story and Characterization, and from what I've seen so far Noctis seems to be a better character than Lightning for sure.

I'm sure SE will deliver, this is there last chance after all. In fact, if they do this right and really ground their characters they could make better characters than most of the previous iterations.
