GearNuke: "Check out this brand new Final Fantasy XV that gives another look at the gameplay."

The video is in Japanese so since I do not speak that language this didn't clear anything up. It looks like an Action RPG to me. Looks like Devil May Cry/Bayonetta fighting meets Final Fantasy.

I'm ever so sorry about that.

You do know that the people who make it are Japanese right? The world doesn't revolve around you.

And what part of the article said 'This video is here to clear up the confusion of retards'. I don't see that anywhere!

New Final Fantasy XV Video Shows The Fast-Paced Action Combat

BY KHURRAM IMTIAZ - OCTOBER, 2ND 2014

Square Enix recently conducted a livestream of Final Fantasy Type-0 HD and Final Fantasy XV. This livestream aimed to clear the confusion about the combat of Final Fantasy XV.

Any questions? That is directly from the article written right above the video. So....

@die_fiend

Sort your attitude out. And you got schooled (yet again) by the chap above.

[Baka-akaB]

I'm not even sure what you mean , it was always announced as an action rpg . before and after it become officially FFXV

[GetSomeLoGiK]

Honestly I like to think of it as the KH3 before the actual KH3. Similar playstyle.

[Spotie]

In before all the complaints about it not being turn-based, like we didn't know that five years ago...

Edit: I can't see the vid on my phone, but from what I've seen before, it does have an action rpg vibe. Which is fine by me.

What I meant was that, for years, this game has been hailed as the savior of the franchise- if not the genre- by the very same people who yearned for a return to the turn-based combat of old. They were probably the same people who were in love with XIII before it released, then called it an abomination afterward without ever having played it.

Just tired of these anti-progression, whiny fans, that's all.

The author mentions the gameplay of FF12. I still own that game for my PS2 and it is one of my favorites because of the fighting style. If they gave it a little more action and strategy like Star Ocean games have then I think it could be cool. But this video looks like an Action RPG to me. What do you think?

[Baka-akaB]

The only thing that changed here , is that they took Versus and made it a main FF , after the massive delay for Versus , XIII , and generally poor opinion of the XIII series .

It was always a real time action rpg

[aerisbueller]

Not clear yet. Does anyone know if the no-switching thing is only mid-battle? or does that mean you can only ever use Noctis in battle. I don't mind not being able to switch mid-battle, but if he's the only playable character for fighting gameplay, that'd be pretty weak.

Also, where's the cute girls at? We finally have an engine that can render really detailed people well in real-time, and it's all dudes, and all dressed in similar outfits at that.

I feel like it's a very last-genny battle system. The movements look very realistic (the staggering and such) but really, what's he really doing zipping around (probably with like L1) and attacking with X. The enemies stood there like it was dynasty warriors, there were no interactions with the other party members. And I want to see some Firaga and whatnot, seemed like people were using just physical weapons exclusively.

I don't know, just reminds me of last-gen. All flashy, no substance.

[Roccetarius]

It's not like this could be Devil May Cry 3 or 4 in a RPG setting, but yeah, it does look last gen.

Actually, the swords surrounding him reminds me of Vergil, or even further back, Nelo Angelo.

[AsheXII]

There was a ton of interaction with party members in the TGS trailer, it looked beyond anything ive seen in an RPG.

This game looks super promising, so im not sure where you're getting the "last gen" feel of it.

[starcatcher]

I hope the story and gameplay are great! Real time could be fun
if approached right. But please no more ff13 that was disappointing. ..

[starcatcher]

If only there was a feature that let you switch between
turn based and real time. Then everyone could be happy!

[jambola]

Trust me, no they wouldn't.
People would still complain

[starcatcher]

People should just sit down, shut up and enjoy
the game when it comes out! What do you think
Of 15 so far Jambola?

[jambola]

I think it looks fun, waiting to see more of what the story is about though, more about the characters etc

[Adrian_v01]

Tabata-saaaan, y u no let switch characters?!

Seriously, since he confirmed it won't be possible my hype dropped again.

And I don't like the flying sword things attacking enemies. It's not needed really and it looks just like a copy of Vergil's swords from dmc. Stay true to your ideas.

[Elda]

Looks amazing,can't wait to start playing this!

The video shows plenty of repeated slashing. The combat doesn't yet feel as immersive and complex as it should be. the chain linking of moves and spells need to work together and be plentiful in variations, this is the game for that stuff.

Even with that said, the Game still looks promising.
