so... there are controllable party members then, just not full control. This sounds like the Pawn system from DD.

Multiple FFXVI interviews with Naoki Yoshida popping up
- Thread starter --R
- Start date
Consider how Yoshi-P defines them, as nuclear weapons or weapons of mass destruction, that definition inmediately gives you the idea that the nations don't make them fight because that may very well mean the destrucion of all nations or, at the very least, a political shitshow of epic proportions.
Oh man it only just now hit me they're aiming to give us both this and FF7R in the same year, sweet christmas
i mean the interview definitely suggests that's exactly what they're like. it also sounded like the dynamic of each eikon fight can change depending on which Eikon you choose as well as the enemy so it's possible if one style is annoying you might be able to avoid it by using a different eikon
Friend, I love Final Fantasy XIV. I play it mostly every day, it's gotten me through some tough times, it's gotten tears out of me consistently, it gives me so much joy to play and revisit.
The people behind the game are not magically infallible. They've stumbled and made decisions that are questionable (subjective, of course, but everything is) If we don't like the things they show and the things they say, and are not 100% on board with everything (due to a multitude of reasons such as company culture, knowledge about previous works, etc.), it's perfectly valid to assume negatives.
I'm cautiously optimistic. I want to see the battle system in action with AI party members. The implementation of the AI could make or break the battle system. AI in RPGs varies wildly in effectiveness. The open zone is great however.
Of course not. Final Fantasy XVI isn't a JRPG. It's an action game.
read the assumption the original post made. "I'm expecting QTE in those moments." That's OK to say, but me saying that my expectations are different based on the people working on the game is worth this post lol?
I have like 0 expectations for the game. Not keen to do DMC combat for 50 - 100 hours either as opposed to 10-15 in actual DMC game.
Will wait for reviews and see I guess. Still, kind of disappointed so far. I am looking toward FFVIIR Episode 2 instead :(.

He implied in another interview that the dog will be (partially) controllable so I guess you'll have pets that always stay with you, each has its own function and you capture them etc. While human characters will come and go and won't be controllable outside of specific situations.
I'll be honest, until we get a playable demo, I'm going to remain intensely skeptical that the combat won't feel like every other AAA action RPG out there.
Turn based RPGs don't ask the player to consistently be "on" and never make a single mistake for 15 straight minutes. Like fuck, devs, you realize people's HANDS get tired the older they get, right?
The thing about the pets is an interesting idea, but is that just your assumption? From what I read, the dog is just one member of your permanent party that is like that, not that necessarily every member of your party will be a pet.
The idea you came up with sounds awesome though lol

I am...Hence I said if I wanted to play DMC I'd play DMC...
Well, I'm looking for a jrpg and this increasingly doesn't seem to be one.
The ATB system doesnt let you sit not doing anything for minutes at a time either, you have to be on.
You complaining about having to pay attention and use your hands sounds just like Tabata justifying just holding the button to attack in XV lol
Most action RPGs have "normal mode" where enemies take a billion hits to kill and then an "easy mode" where the game plays itself. Tales of Arise's Easy Mode is exactly the same as normal mode, only enemies have slightly less max HP.
None of them actually have good difficulty balancing.
Can you share some examples of fights that's taken you 15 minutes?
Stranger in Paradise must have sold amazingly well to have a AAAA sequel ready to go within a year.
There will be a story mode that makes it easier (a range of accessories will equip with varying effects that ease the gameplay and can be activated/turned off whenever)
「ファイナルファンタジーXVI」吉田直樹プロデューサーインタビュー 振り切る代わりに超濃厚な体験を。吉田組がフルパワーで作るワンコンセプトの「FF」
スクウェア・エニックスから2023年夏に発売予定のプレイステーション 5「ファイナルファンタジーXVI」（以下、「FFXVI」）。先日公開された第二弾トレーラーでは「召喚獣大戦」というワードも飛び出し、大きな話題を呼んだ。

Yeah it's my assumption, but the fact that there's this specific system and he talks about it in addition to the story related companions makes me think that something like this is a bit likely. I could be wrong of course, but would be cool to be able to capture a mob and it helps you in battle.
I don't think it's an actual pawn system since the WaPo article mentions there being only one specific buddy that was mentioned in that fashion and there being only one would fit with the concept art we've seen of the game.
(Specifically the concept art that always showed Clive with a small dragon next to him in various locales. Presumably that is the buddy in question.)
In FFVII Remake: Hell House, the Arsenal, Ghoul, most of the summon VR battles
In Tales of Arise: literally every main storyline boss up to the end of the third kingdom where I quit the game.
At least one Scarlet Nexus boss also lingered that long before I got sick of that game and deleted it, as well. The whole "boss has super armor and a billion HP and can kill you super quickly" trope is alarmingly common in modern action RPGs. Only Yakuza (well, Judgment now, I guess) and KH don't fall victim to it.
Did he really confirm something that specific, or are people just interpreting interviews in different ways?
but the small companion in the wapo article is a wolf
Also he specifically says buddies as in plural, not just one companion. multiple.
he confirmed mostly-permanent party members beyond the ones that exist for narrative purposes that you can deliver manual commands to such as "heal yourself" or "focus this enemy." It being the Pawn system is my own interpretation.
I'll post this here as well, on 4 open zones, side activities and crafting (translated by DeepL):
It didn't matter what difficulty you played on. Arise's enemies were incredibly spongy.
Can't wait to spam Bahamut fang or whatever elaborately animated sword swipe attack that looked like they were wailing on that creoul whose hp didn't do anything in the trailer.
I would expect it to be something more like Carbuncle rather than full human party members who are with you the whole game.
I can't help myself anymore.
If those fights in ff7 took you 15 minutes, you wasn't playing it right.
does them being fully human or not matter? im not talking about narrative party members, those are separate. this is just a somewhat controllable party independent of that.
Yoshida: AI-controlled companions do exist, although they are replaced depending on the storyline. In addition, there are characters we call "buddies," who accompany you in almost all battles. You can give your "buddy" manual instructions such as heal yourself or attack a specific enemy. Of course, you can also leave everything to the AI and concentrate on your own operations."
I'm assuming this is where the interpretation is coming from
You two are hilarious. The people working on this combat are Dragon's Dogma/DMC/KH devs. You literally can't even find something in there creds to whine about so you use one specific fight from 7R and a complete separate companies game
I'd imagine Phoenix will be that.
Oh? What stopped them?
This probably will cement party-member fans who are feeling like what they want really is being taken out to the pasture by the young.
No, definitely not just you. I mean, the trailers were hype and I'm a huge XIV fan but man... I already caught my first FF Tactics inspiration in FFXVI!
Totally reminds me of:
Goug Machine City
A mining town where mechanical weapons are crafted using techniques passed down from antiquity. —Description They say the ruins of a lost civilization lie buried beneath the streets of Goug, the Goug Machine City. Relics from the age of Saint Ajora, when airships numerous beyond counting filled...

god this game is going to rule so hard.
What is the pawn system of DD?
