I'm glad that some elements of the Versus XIII gameplay trailer that we saw years ago, like using the turret to shoot at enemies, was transferred over to XV. I think the combat looks interesting, at the very least, probably the most dynamic we've seen in the series, with the warp ability allowing you to go all over the battlefield in an instant. Even the stealth bit didn't feel tacked on but a properly worked out mechanic. Of course this is all trailer footage and trailers can only say so much, we'll have to wait and see how it actually plays. Not that I'll be able to play it, lacking a PS4 or X1, but I'm still interested in the game in general and would like it to do well.

While there is a lot of bad things that can be said about Square Enix, and in most cases very deservedly so, I did always get the impression that Tabata was an honest guy and really did everything he could within the restrictions the company no doubt placed upon him to make this a good game. If nothing else, just for him, I hope it pays off and the game will turn out to be good and enjoyable.
