This should be great for people looking for a more traditional experience, or just want some more time to plan strategy.

Wait mode looks really good! The wait gauge is an interesting attempt to balance how wait mode functions, and allows changing party members to be much easier.

Yeah, I'll probably have Wait Mode on constantly.

Lots of super cool stuff in that video. I really like the concept of the 'magic crafting' system.

And honestly Wait Mode just looks well considered and useful. I'm surprised it's an option and not just part of the standard system, seems like it would sit well just on a button hold.

Yeah I thought it would be a button hold as well. I'm actually slightly concerned I might enter wait mode by mistake if I just stop using the controller momentarily.

Awesome! It's like FFXII! I'm thrilled.

[Ayen]

That's pretty well implemented, actually.

Okay, WAIT! -freezes everything- Okay. Now, to aim for the creature's buttocks.

[Del Murder]

Yeah I'll be living in wait mode.

This looks very useful for when you're overwhelmed with enemies or for awkward enemies.
