Check out this extended combat clip before you decide whether to be excited or outraged about it.
Party members still contribute to the melee with cinematic saves and attacks, but it looks like players will only directly control blink-happy protagonist Noctis--most of the time, at least.
Now that you've had a better look at FFXV's new combat, what do you think of its new approach to fightin'--the unspoken F in FF?

I think i'll need to see more of the combat system and just how indepth customization is and such. So far i'm liking Lightning Returns combat system more because honestly this just looks kinda weird to me the more i see it. Reply Report

Anyone else think the main character looks identical to Sasuke from Naruto? Reply Report

The teleportation looks really cool and unique for an action game, and as for the rest of the combat, it should be a good warm up for KH3 right? :) Reply Report

This is the most interested I've been in Final Fantasy since the PS1. Reply Report

Call me old fashioned or a Final Fantasy hipster, but I don't want this from a FF game. I want to play turn based, team battles where I control everything. It sounds too familiar to XIII, maybe a bit more action based, but I wasn't a fan of that. Reply Report

Looks very cool and cinematic and all that, but I'll reserve judgement until I've actually got my hands on it so I can see how the combat feels to me. I'm hoping there will be some sort of lock-on, because that camera looks like it could be a pain in the ass when surrounded by enemies. Otherwise, I look forward to this :) Reply Report

So I watched that in 1080p, and I think I might have just lost my virginity. That is a thing that happened. Reply Report

I honestly much prefer them to go all out with action instead of a turn based combat, if said alternative would be like the combat system found in either FFXII or FFXIII. Honestly, I wasn't a fan of either of those systems, and if they aren't willing to go back to the good old, proper, direct traditional combat of the first 10 core games, then yeah, this looks much better to me.Besides, unlike KH's combat, this one doesn't look like a combat system that's "good for an RPG". What I saw has potential to be as in depth and rival the combat of full fledged action games like DMC or bayonetta. Of course, it helps that Noctis's teleport abilities seem to be readily available, lending much more agility to the combat overall.What I'm curious to know, is how exactly are the team attacks going to work, what we saw there looked pretty cool, but it seems like it could be tricky, or too much of a hassle to make it happen. Then again... seeing as the result ended with that whole giant dead, one probably doesn't want to allow them to be too easy to pull off XD. At any rate, I just hope they can be all just as creative, and feel natural enough to the rest of the gameplay.Most of all, I'm just happy that after almost a decade, we're FINALLY getting once again a FF game that shows proper promise.

I sure hope there will eventually be a demo of this game. The combat sure looks spectacular, but I think we can all agree that we need to try this out before passing judgement. Reply Report

I think this has a lot of potential and could be a ton of fun to play. I'll miss more classic RPG conventions but there's 12 other non MMO entries in the franchise to enjoy if you want the classic stuff. I say bring on the change, this could be the breath of fresh air the series needs. One entry doing things a little differently won't kill a franchise and it might wind up being amazingly well received. It looks a lot like a more serious, tactical and in depth version of the Kingdom Hearts battle system, which with some polish could really deliver. I'd like to see how summons will be handled, but the magic and melee looks really solid. I particularly like Noctis' ability to blink around in combat, it adds a bit of flare and speed to the encounters that helps liven up the potentially monotonous slash happy gameplay.I do worry that his will alienate a large portion of the dedicated Final Fantasy fanbase, however, as not everyone who plays FF enjoys playing action games. I'm expecting to hear a rather large outcry of "THIS ISN'T FINAL FANTASY ANYMORE, IT'S AN ACTION GAME AND NOT AN RPG BAWWWW!" While I definitely understand that sentiment, I say give them a shot, can't hurt to try something new. Reply ReportShowing 1-10 of 10 comments
