If I remember correctly from playing the demo. You directly input commands 1 at a time, though all 3 characters auto-attack at all times I think? You use commands to cast spells and use items, very similar to FFXI.Yay! The classic victory fanfare is back! Did I understand the system correctly, that you mostly tell your characters what to do at the beginning of the battle, and they'll keep doing that unless you interrupt them and give them new commands during the battle?
And to add on to that, I remember from an interview a while back that stated you can chose certain "Modes" for your characters be in during battle. Example would be something simple like "Healer" mode that has that person use healing spells on people who are low on Hp. The person interviewed also said that there would be many of these "modes" to mix and match for your team
Another Edit after having watched the video (took so long to load), it definately looked like the guy went into some AI-Setup menu and made what I thought looked like a simple -If party member hp drops below %HP, cast 'chosen spell'- and you can setup multiple "AI Commands" like that it seems. Very cool and exciting
