does anyone know anything about the battle system?

[tidus78]

i cant really find anything that gives hints on how the battle system is going to work, does anyone have any info?

Well, no one really knows much about it. Hell, there is barely any information on FFXIII.

Well, I found this in Wikipedia.

In recent interview translations, Nomura says the game will play like a more realistic version of Kingdom Hearts with some elements of a third-person shooter similar to Dirge of Cerberus. New interviews have stated Nomura's wish to push away from "light magical" styles (he specifically references Kingdom Hearts) and opt for a much bleaker realistic world. He wants the characters to be perceived as believable humans that the player can relate to rather than simply fabricated characters.

Which means it's pretty much safe to say that we won't see a lot of magic in this game or if we do, you'll probably have to earn it by fulfilling a goal that will focus on that certain aspect of magic or by some other more gratifying way that helps you relate to the character. I suppose that makes it more rewarding than just gaining the EXP to learn it or battling for Gil and buying it from a shop etc.

You also get to move around with your character like in FFXII and its not turn based. It seems like its a pretty cool battle system. If you want to see it in action check out youtube or something to watch a video on it.

I think it's something simialar to FFXII. When enemies attck you it pauses and you pick your move

But i hope there isnt that stupid blue line that shows you which enemy your attacking. I hated that so much... It made that game even worse

 

[Laro]

Yeah. Or the way you have to wait untill you attack. That made the game so slow...
Sorry I'm getting out of subject
