So square teased us yesterday with some new kind of battle system modes to switch between that they will reveal soon. Then I remembered this:
>A part of the FFXV patent leaked in 2014:
>"Note that the game apparatus according to the present invention can cast various attacks based on the correspondence between positional conditions and attack methods set by the player even when the same operating button is pressed;however, it is also possible, for example, to switch, BY A PLAYER'S OPERATION, between a game mode to which the present invention is applied in which various attacks can be cast based on the correspondence between positional conditions and attack methods set by the player, AND A NORMAL GAME MODE IN WHICH VARIOUS ATTACKS CAN BE CAST BY THE PLAYER BY PRESSING A PLURALITY OF BUTTONS."

So now the question is: is what we're playing now in the platinum demo, the casual gameplay or the technical gameplay? What will change?
>the promise of Advent Children tier combat is coming to fruition
I want to see how it fares against a human boss like the dragoon lady.
>2014
It was most likely cut off somewhere in 2015, otherwise it would be present in the demo.
>>332993245
whatever. not the point. add to the discussion or leave.
>>332992440
>do a bunch of shit
>low damage
for what purpouse?
>>332994960
It's challenging, looks cool, and might have other benefits. In the demo's case: makes it so you don't have to deal with the context sensitive dodging cancels.
>>332992440
damn it looks so clunky. hope it's good.
guess it just forces you to be more deliberate. welp, better than turn based anyway.
>>332994960
probably oriented to fighting snipers or enemies that take being attacked from more than one angle/ locked to the ground
>We want the Mexican audience

I've seen that particle effect numerous times now, but I am just now realizing it's oddly similar to Cloud's shit in Advent Children. They literally want to make Advent Children the game.
>>332995708
From the earliest trailers and interviews I remember Nomura distinctly saying the combat will take after Advent Children
>>332995865
I don't really watch that stuff, but good to know. That explains it.
Am I the only one who likes Dusce's battle system more? Maybe it has more to do with "more" enemy variety in actual combat or something,but I just feel that the combat is much more realized. Hopefully things change for the better closer to release...
