combat looks like something out of an MMORPG. Don't care for the characters at all, but I'll see how it turns out.

Greatsword:
Hold analogue away from target = Tempest - Tornado attack with multiple hits
Hold forward = Brave Slash = Lunge forward with heavy attack - closes gap.
Normal swings restore 40 mp per hit.
Can Parry the Boss.
Slow warp.

Longsword
Enhanced aerial combat - manoeuvres in the air cost 10 MP and allow Noctis to do up to 3 normal attacks, before falling. He can stay in the air until his MP runs out.
Hold away from opponent - backflip - hits enemy and evades. On ground, can launch Noctis into the air for combos. In air, he moves back significantly.
Hold towards - short warp strike - closes the gap on ground or air.
Hold side - he will side-step on ground - and warp in air - useful for dodging the boss and keeping air combos going.
Fast Short warp - useful for evading ground punch

Shuriken
Ranged - costs MP
Warp strike is a powerful special attack that will instantly stagger the boss.

Shield
If you block at the moment the boss strikes (not just holding it) it will instantly stagger him.
Hold away and hold attack - charges up for a powerful shield lunge.
Hold forward - a flurry of shield bashes.
Don't let these casuals get to you.
I meant the majority of the demo bashing level 1 grunts with a toy sword and hammer. It was just hold O to win.
You could just hold O to win on that giant too.

I don't even know how to do all that extra shyt. I had two swords and a fire spell when I fought that dude.

Not saying it won't be fleshed out, was just a little boring most of the demo.

The fight was a lot more exciting in that video. I wish they had explained how some of that stuff worked.
Casual thoughts. You not artistic with the gaming

Yeah I'm not feeling that main cast. It's looks like a crappy version of the Ninja Turtles where Leo is an introverted emo instead of a natural leader. When you decide to only have 4 characters in the main party they all better be solid.

The Cid chick that fixes their cars looks cringe worthy.
