KH games have never allowed you to use the partner characters in battle so why would you think that Versus XIII would be any different?
I didn't expect Versus XIII to be different but I did expect Final Fantasy XV to be different. And now that they are the same the expectations have changed even if the game hasn't.

Anyway, it has to be true that you'll have more control over your party choices than in KH and maybe you can influence them directly through the pause menu or hotkeys like in Mass Effect. Setting a few gambits with no direct control during the flow of battle just isn't going to cut it and I can't imagine they'd regress like that.

Also Noctis may end up being a badass. I can dig super cool powers and multiple weapons.
