Forums - Sony - Hajime Tabata wants to make Final Fantasy XV "more casual, one button action"

How is Kingdom Hearts a 1 button game, please explain it to me? I play KHI and KHII and it's by no mean 1 button. And another things, people are compare this game to all the old FF and said all of those were 1 button but this is the first FF that is action rpg, not turn base so that is a dumb compare.

You're taking this way too literal just like a lot of people in here seem to be doing. How I see it he means that the game won't require you to input some kind of button combos to execute a move or something, which is exactly how I remember KH I & II.

Anyway there will be a demo early next year and even if you don't want to buy Typo 0 to play that then there will still be more then enough people posting opinions and analyzing that demo for you to decide, if you want to buy the game or not. Right now this whole outrage (with certain people going as far as to call for the guy to be fired... seriously?) is silly.

He's saying that the moves will be performed in a very simple way. But maybe you have to decide the better angle of attack (I think he already said that), your location on the battlefield, which spells to use, how to better use your companions, quickly react to an incoming attack... there are A LOT of variables, specially on an rpg with a real-time combat system. I remember one the things Tabata said is how well the game "flows", and you have to consider the "environment" or the weather. The genre is not about the intricate combo systems, but rather about the strategy/planning/decision-making. Every rpg has "one-button" systems really.

I'm REALLY curious about this game's battle system. The demo cannot come soon enough.

So what you are suggesting that instead of a fixed position, the idea that an emnemies attack will always hit and you have to guard against it before or after your turn, it's more free flowing and you guard against it by moving.... so KH.

Right, so I'm going to take it from now on after the last few thoughts I've had that this game is a KH based FF game, not an FF game (still waiting on another actual FF game, maybe Type-0 will be it...)

I really dislike this whole "not an FF game" debate. People project a lot of things into the next FF, everyone has an "ideal" FF in their minds, and the next person thinks that would be the worst FF game ever because of the same reasons.

Final Fantasy is not about being turn-based or action-based, that's secondary. To me, it's about standing out at every aspect - a likeable cast of characters, an engaging plot, amazing soundtrack, and a fun battle system, regardless of being turn-based or not. FF's battle systems have always stood out among other jrpgs. Even if you don't like XIII's system, it's undeniable it's pretty unique. Saying FFXV will not be a "proper" FF game regardless of its quality just because is an action-rpg, sounds almost insulting to the producers of the game to me. And then you mention Type-0, which is also in real-time and whatnot =P

Yeah, my hype from TGS is all gone now.  There is no point anymore, I will see how it is when it's "actually" release.  



that's pretty smart because those are the games that are selling these days, one button action games. just throw in some pretty graphics and cutscenes and you'll get 9's and 10's across the board and the game will sell like hotcakes on just hype alone. gameplay is so old fashioned. these days it's so niche and besides people don't like hard games, they just want to complete it for the story and move onto the next hype train

I don't want it to turn out like RE6. Missing the core aspect of the franchise.


But Resident Evil 6 is awesome. As long as the game is awesome, what's the problem?

In YOUR opinion. Most people think Reisdent Evil 6 is a bad game.

Resident Evil.net disagrees with you. :)

I know what you mean but one of the things I see as FF is steampunk. 13 was not steam punk it was just sci-fi, so not FF. But there are things that I see as FF and that have been aspects that define an FF game over others, the gameplay, story and things can change but the basics are the same. Self contained battles, ATB or variation of, summons and magics (with correct names). I don't mind changes as 12, while moving from many traditions as it was set in Invalice, is such a great game.

... btw, I'm serious on steampunk. 13 failed so bad there.



Hmm, pie.

Because ResidentEvil.net is the only gaming site out there, right?

Pretty sure KH is almost all one button most of the time other than blocking and jumping, and that is still a fantastic game/series. Lets hope that's what he means when they state this. I just hope he doesn't ruin the game, it was finally starting to look up and looking great.

Resident Evil.net is a site that specializes in Resident Evil 6 (and, to a huge extent now, Revelations). You should see how much activity there is whenever a weekly event comes up (especially the ones that give EX3 tickets).

 

I'm not claiming that all of almost six million people who purchased Resident Evil 6 loved/liked it.  All I'm saying is that "most people think RE6 is bad" is false, or, at least, has not enough proof to be claimed as truthfact.
