Final Fantasy XV details emerge during FF Type-0 HD’s extended talk show

Last month VG24/7 spoke with Final Fantasy XV Director Hajime Tabata and he said that combat will “basically be like a one-button action. The AI intuitively outputs an action that gives you instant gratification. It connects with the single touch of a button.”

During the discussion at Final Fantasy Type-0 HD’s extended talk show Habata clarified the statement and said that combat won’t be as simple as simply holding down one button. Thanks to Gematsu we have a translation of the Q&A.

Tabata said, “When you continue to hold down the guard button, you can basically auto-guard and evade, but it consumes MP. You can’t infinitely evade. You have to think about timing, when it’s a good idea to attack or evade. Also, you aren’t invincible. There are attacks you can’t avoid. In those cases, there are also essential technical evasion methods.”

He added that “When you push the attack button, you invoke the standard combo. You can change the actions by using it in coordination with the directional buttons. The actions change depending on your circumstances—things like whether you’re guarding and whether the timing is right, or if your companions are nearby.”

Final Fantasy XV will be coming to PS4 and Xbox One.
