Well they are going for realism more than ever, and let's be honest. Four men wearing no armor charging into a base with giant mechs shooting at them? Highly unlikely. Ok, so it is slightly more realistic this way anyway lol.
It's also another way to show off Noctis' warp mechanic, as well as giving more possibilities for team takedowns via stealth.
I like it

It makes sense since they're running away from a whole empire. They most likely don't wear  armor in a normal casual day since they are royalty(not to mention the setting is based on modern times not medieval). So far the story suggests the army just attacked their city and they are forced to flee from them, not really much time to wear armor if that was the case.

Yes true, I meant it more in the way that they could either charge into the base in their current condition or choose stealth instead, which realistically would give them a better chance.

A mix of fantasy and reality with a bit more reality this time around

Oh ok. lol. Sorry for misunderstanding a bit. And yes, stealth is pretty much most recommended in those situations.

I feel like the warp mechanic is designed to work a lot with stealth. I'm not sure how much you'll be able to do it on the open map, but it's nice to be able to pick and choose your battles.

Hang on edges like shown in the trailers ;o!

Or as a offensive attack to get a enemy from long range.

My sentence structure was poor. I was referring to stealth when I'm not sure how it'll translate to open field.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

It's optional so I don't know why people even care that it's in. Plus 7 had it as well.

Might not be able to do it specifically in the field but what about certain parts like the early trailers where they were avoiding Deadeye?

 

Pretty sure you could just warp around while running like StarFox would; jumping ahead and stuff.

You can warp to dodge on the ground, you can warp to vantage points up above (maybe to get treasure chests), you can warp-attack enemies etc

He's talking about the Stealth aspect - not the warping XD.

 

If I remember right - in the demo you can warp even during battle and in the field.

I should play more of the demo before they do their special event.

Damn at least he didn't have to correct both of us XD whoops

Well you can always crouch, move slowly and stay out of line-of-sight so the enemy encounter bar doesn't fill up. I think that is as far as field-stealth goes

I liked it but the games poly looks a bit weird. Hyped for this though!

It definitely adds a more tactical option to how someone might deal with a dungeon or with a troublesome foe. For me, it's a lot of fun to sneak around and catch an opponent unaware. It's welcomed change in my opinion.
