So this is what they meant that they learned their lesson with Bravely Default vs Lightning Returns but admitted it was too late because FF XV was already too far completed?

Mine too, but then I realized that the wording makes the whole thing sounds much worse than it actually is.

I recommend Bravely Default. You are clearly not  into any real-time battle system. Which is totally fine. So XV simply isn't the game for you. Doesn't matter what they add to the system now :)

Why?  I mean why does this sound horrible?  That doesn't make sense.

Regarding the menu, they said you'll be able to pause and go into a menu in battle.  There's an article about it somewhere among others that you'll be able to do that and change AI behavior and probably some other things.

Wtf? How many changes has this game gone through?? Was this part of Toriyamas vision? It's his game, thats why we had to wait so bloody long. I think DNF set the precedent for development cycles like this

This sounds okay, as long as the depth is there for the more serious players.

However I hope this dosen't end up like FF13. Which it could do if they approach development with a casualised mentality.

I really need one a the moment

I don't mind a one-button attack system, but I hope they include buttons for dodging and magic as well....

So you could win with five stars majority of the time, without grinding, by mostly just pressing auto-battle and nothing else? O_O

Damn, maybe I should try that out.

I believe we all need one.  There's so much dang information coming out it's hard to collect all of it and make sense of it all.

But right now I think we can relax a little, just have to wait for random **** storms to blow over.
