The stealth is optional and the way Tabata made it sound the turrets are as well. The objective is to destroy that base, and the turrets will pack a bigger punch and work much faster to do that. But you can probably just do it through magic and regular attacks if you want.
The difference here is that it looks like they have good stealth mechanics in place, but you can still fight directly if you want.
KH2 is more fluid/flexible (FF XV is more realistic) and faster paced than this. Also with more flashing lights.
Honestly it just feels like its own thing. Maybe a little similar to Type-0, but way better.

I really wish they would show more magic. Combat looks like it's 99% melee attacks. Show me some Ultima goodness.

And stealth was in ff7. Literally all we are seeing here is the ff formula in modern tech. Stealth isn't new, cars isn't new,roadtrips etc whatever other thing people wanna nitpick out. Only thing different is its an action rpg.FF8 was out a long time ago.

Stealth sequences has been in FF since a long time now.
Maybe not turrets directly, but mechanisation of FF has been a long time now. This is just making playable what was in older games just CGi cutscenes.

Hi Vergil!
This part of the stream was bad ass. Cant wait to see the ultimate weapons and late game high level moves.
VS 13 footage with Noctis using mechs and their cannons https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQ7MwTXYLpg
Stealth was in FF12 and FF13 had preemptive attacks as well.

Oh right, that's a good point. Still, biological enemies bled in the game as late as E3 2013, possibly even after the robot change.

Maybe late summer like September, but I think fall is more likely.

Did they slow down the combat? I really see a HEAVY Noctis over there, also there is some weird jerkiness which I cannot explain exactly..
Well, it's simply not my style, I am just incompatible with Tabata, Shinomura makes wonders though.

I didn't watch the ATR (or really keeping up with the game) but have they broke down the mechanics of the combat? Like what triggered that dual tech-like X-strike and are those bits where it's cutting to another character player controlled, both in terms of controlling the character and when it triggers? Also, why are Ignis and Gladius' life bars flashing red?

It's not like mechanical war machines haven't been a part of the series since the earlier years:
People need to get schooled on this series. A lot of things they think are "new and strange"(and un-FF) have been a part of the series for a LONG time.

It's still Noctis only. The camera switching to the other characters is when you activate certain actions with them once they level up. It'll switch to them while they cast a certain spell before going back to Noctis.

Like impractical designs
Dont worry this thread will go that way in about a day or so. Gameplay looks solid to me, just hoping it doesnt come out around the same time as p5, but man all these years waiting look like they're about to pay off.
They weren't controller, it was just pre set up actions that the player triggered. You could see when Gladiolus's attack was happening the UI on the left had all 3 companions mapped to the d pad.
Preach. Makes you wonder if they ever really knew or played FF.It's not like mechanical war machines haven't been a part of the series since the earlier years:

I'm not sure what's worse, the people who are coming into this thread without seeing any type of previous footage or news of the game(one google search is all it takes), and somehow hoping this will be like FF 1-6, or the people who come into this thread saying "this looks bad" without explaining why.

Will wait for the inevitable patches to fix bugs and stuff.

Good lord, I've been itching to play this game since Duscae. They seem to have improved things quite a lot, specially the camera when in battle.

Fuck I've been kinda tepid on this game so far, but every time they show it off it's looking better and better. Has a 2016 release date or a PC version been confirmed yet?
It's a mix of both with I think some people trying to poke fun at the games obvious troubled dev cycle. But any who has really followed this and the lead up to the March event. We'll be seeing pretty much the final build of the game soon. It'll be a huge info blowout really.

Looks real good im excite.
Honestly this isn't that big of a deal in the end and I don't know if many people feel this way but I really feel like the UI's style was at its best at the E3 reveal back then. I'm not talking about the features but the look of it. It's always been minimalistic but I really feel like they've been slowly taking out little things that made it unique.
The health bars in the lower right look so generic now.
