    You can switch party members and directly input which magic attacks your party does in Secret of Mana.

    This single player FF is gonna be a strange thing for sure, but I'm not ready to discount the game just for being limited. Art thrives on limitations. If you don't have to input commands for the other party members to attack, the game becomes a single player session of Secret of Mana.

    And that's ahem, nothing to sneeze at.
    I personally don't mind the thought of single player in the context of FFXV because Noctis seems like a 'jack of all trades' character anyway (warrior, summoner, dragoon etc). I think it would only bother me if each character had a distinct job role and I wasn't able to experience said job roles for myself, which doesn't seem to be the case for FFXV (except Prompto being a gunner maybe). In saying that I do prefer multiple playable characters, so hopefully FFXVI will bring this back!

    That's got nothing to do with why I said what I said.

    Not only that, but it was multiplayer as well.

    There is no comparison to SoM's gameplay to FFXV.

    Could have swore your post said something else. Thought it said "I know he was being sarcastic. I was wondering why he said it".

    Man, I gotta lay off the liquor...
