Final Fantasy 7 Remake - Combat Analysis (see staff post)
- Thread starter Exentryk
- Start date
That's part of what made it possible for the rest of the game to be so good and expansive, though. A lot of what you probably liked more about the original is likely to be cut down to achieve...half-decent new combat.
The majority of people buying this likely won't have even played the original. What even AAA turn based RPG's are around now?
I definitely have high hopes with the lead KH2 battle planner on it and if this game gets a critical mode equivalent. lawd
Yeah, nope.
As much as I hated FFXV battle system, it was still good for most people and the game sold pretty well.Tthe game will not flop simply because it's not turn based, you may keep dreaming this will happen and send SQEX a message, but it simply won't. Plus: Just like kh3, Hype alone will sell FFVIIRE.
It's best to people to let go of turn based main Final Fantasy games, it's not happening again.
Haters really are something, aren't they?About that.....
That's where you're wrong.
I just don't like FF XIII or FF XV's gameplay. Why fix what's not broken?
Then say that and not that the game is gonna flop. Because that's just a lie.
Not sure what the point of this is as the combat will most likely change 10 times before release.
Unlikely since the game is most likely going to release early 2020 and it looks pretty much the same as it did in the trailer from 2015.
The combat will not change drastically.
Yes, because as the millions of copies that were sold of each game have proven, those games were disasters that absolutely nobody enjoyed and spread positive word of mouth for.
People loved the new turn-based combat in the RE2 Remake for sure.About that.....
Turn based combat it's restrictive and repetitive... You simply select commands from a list. I like turn based combat but it's not like it's dynamic or non repetitive, it isn't.
And, no, it's not like ffxv combat.
I don't have a problem with it not being turn based, I actually welcome it being close to KH styled gameplay. I'm one of the few people here that liked FFXV despite its flaws. (please have some battle tactics and actual button presses though)
One thing I am kinda secretly hoping for is when you get into random battles, it switches the field to a separate battle screen like Star Ocean does. I don't particularly like in some RPGs where you battle right then and there cause those types of games' environments are unneccessarily big and kinda empty to navigate to accommodate the extra space to fight in.

seems serviceable to me so far
I appreciate its simplicity compared to FF15 so far. Hopefully everything translates into a fun and involved combat system
I prefer full control in action RPGs like how Souls/Monster Hunter does it personally but it doesnt look bad.

"All I know is, is that this game won't be bought by me but still sell millions of copies and be a financial success if it has something like FF XIII or FF XV gameplay." - SpaceCrystal
Correct you are sir. Correct you are.
Please stay on topic
You know damn well that's not the point Eden is making, lol
edit: unless the point YOU are making is supporting Eden's point :p
really excited for the sheer variety of unique fighting styles that each character brings (which is the main reason why im looking forward to Action Combat)
Tifa and RED XIII - i can't wait

It's very frustrating. Also still have thread titles calling it episodic which makes people think the games are going to be bite sized even though Square Enix said they'd be full 40+ hour games just like their other mainline FF games.
I think the video's slightly confused as to what's happening. Most likely, that IS Cross-Slash being used, and not Punisher. What they call the "Special Attack Gauge" is probably just the Limit Break Gauge, and Cloud's just used it. The bar is drained, after all.
My guess is that Punisher is probably a secondary attack with special properties, and using actions from the Command Menu drains the blue bar instead. It's hard to tell for sure tho, because there doesn't seem to be any indicator of Punisher being used, unlike with the standard attack.

Hopefully all this stuff is addressed in a month and we can cut down a lot of the speculation.
Hopefully *cough* it'll make VIIR threads a bit more tolerable.
FFXV sell very well..... Anyway, I am confident with the new combat system. Kingdom Hearts it's fun to play, I don't think this will be different
I wonder how much freedom you get or if its similar to FF15 where you feel "Tethered" to the opponent targeted
I mean there is definitely auto targeting going on to some degree
We've also learned that it'll be "hold button to win", shallow, and that the game will be a "flop".
As I've said previously, I can understand the feelings of trepidation that some people have regarding the game's combat. What I don't understand is why they've written it off entirely despite knowing absolutely nothing about it.
Not to the same degree I'm sure. The nature of Clouds movements don't seem choreography reliant like Noct's were.
It's already evident that there's no "holding the button" going on when Cloud attacks.
They were never going to be happy with any kind of action battle system most likely.
I can understand preferring turn-based, but when someone goes "the original combat/ATB was great" that's when I have to disagree. The combat is not what made VII a good game. The ATB has always been one of the worst turn-based systems around.
That is an excellent counter-point, Bhonar. I think the crux is that Resident Evil 2 was really, really well done. So, if the Final Fantasy 7 remake's combat isn't excellent, it is going to invite a LOT of criticism. It is up to Square to prove that they can actually deliver. We will see.
