New Gameplay Footage

[Vyk]

Traveling around looks interesting enough. But I'm not feeling that battle system. Too much crap crowding the screen. Not liking the curvey countdown/distance bar, or the warnings about the enemies attacks. Hopefully that can be turned off...

i gotta say, not bad at all. looks like ffIX with a squinge of maturity and a twist of darkness, which is what the game needed in the first place. i liked what i saw, i won't lie.

[KentaRawr!]

Hmm... That looks interesting. I hope they don't make too many changes to that Battle System.

Here is a new video featuring a good four-minute exposition of the game and its new features. (Well, it's new to us; apparently it's actually from last year's E3 and is only now getting out to the public.) Only three locations are shown--one city, one dungeon, and one field--but they're all incredibly vast; the city gives this impression the best, and if these are representative of the size of the rest of the game's locations, we've got quite a game to look forward to. The mechanics of the battle system are on display, as well, and look great. Just look.

That looked really nice, but i don't think i would like the walking around, plus i wonder if you can run away from the enemys when they are attacking you, and then if your running around, then your other guys are like dead weaght, they only move when you move. So if you can run around when the enemy is attacking, what about them, they have the risk of dying, and what about bosses, it seems a little odd for me, but maybe i will think different about it when i play it.

Err..it kinda plays well...its like playing an online game offline

But changing the battle system loses the Feel of "Final Fantasy" T_T and i hate that

Not liking the curvey countdown/distance bar

Is THAT what that is? It makes the game actually look fake, or arcade-ish. It also looks like the characters are constantly drawing magic from the enemies. I hope you can get rid of that.

Other than that, it looks awesome, I can't wait. But I guess I'm gonna have to......at least another 6 months

Same here it would be weird running away from a boss or it might be like FFXI
No matter how far you run they still hit you a mile away...and i thought
those little green things were Mandragoras.

ok after watching a whole bunch of trailers and doing a whole bunch of research ive come to this conclusion about the battle system, think of it sort of like kingdom hearts, you walk up to the enemies, no random battle transitions, and you only control one character, however, unlike kingdom hearts, you can switch characters and use the "gambit" ability to command ur uncontrolled characters from there, selecting things like all attack or heal you'reselves k? and they're not constantly drawing magic from the enemies, they are used to select which enemy you are going to attack and once you select it, ur ATB gauge fills up and then you innitiate ur command. I imagine bosses will be the same way only you can not run from them. Hope this clears some things up :D

Looks pretty good, they seem to have pulled off a pretty cool system, but the whole lines towards enemies thing confused me, took me some time to understand that they werent laser beams.

[Destai]

Should someone edit this to day OLD gameplay footage?

just do it.

[RiTaPuffy]

Battle System seems pretty... annoying.
Everytime when you need to change command the whole battle screen just stop, no more exciting speedy battle feeling, disappointed

[DJZen]

Wow, looks like it plays almost exactly like FFXI, only now there's a visual representation of aggro. Everyone who wished for FFXI Offline got their wish. I like. Also... GREEN magic?
