So what if it's not really an ARPG. What if its the typical turnbased but similar to FFXIII in a sense...here me out.
Ok so you see Barret and Clouds name on the right with what looks like an atb gauge in one brief clip. So what if you still control actions for all party members like your typical old turn based battle system. They all have their time gauge filling up. But as you select their action, you get the awesome attacks and in the background everyone and everything is moving real time as they do in XIII while the bars refill. And you can still control all moves by all members and you get to pick the party leader so youre not always Cloud. It just seems so fast paced and has alot going on in the background like XIII does. So it could still be a sorta turn based style and not an arpg as everyone seems to think. I hope me trying to explain this makes sense since I think it would work great and it kinda seems to me like this is whats going on.
