Does this say we can switch party members in battle for FFXV?
You're forgetting, Nomura isn't involved any more. Tabata will likely strip the "International" moniker and go with Final Fantasy XV+.Come now. We all know it will be called Final Fantasy XV International Final Mix Edition.
I see nothing.
Try now. I think it does say that. Got a few people to confirm.
Is there a link to that description?Does this say we can switch party members in battle for FFXV?
Oh, the PSN description? I suppose so.
The guy who was playing the demo switched to different characters to show the different gameplay models. He just played as Noctis, that's all. I'm guessing it's gonna be in the game anyway.
– How do you operate in battles?
Tabata: You don’t choose commands, you fight while switching between offense and defense. The only character you can control is Noctis, but the other characters operate based on a strategy assigned by the player and they act automatically. Of course even in battle you can pull up the settings screen and change the strategies and individual weapons of all your party members.

Wait, Roberto Ferrari isn't credited as a main character designer anymore?
Cor Leonis is no more?

yea the description for TGS 2013 still has Roberto Ferrari.....
maybe they just didn't include it in the main description.

Indeed it does
Taking advantage of the next generation consoles specifications, characters can move around the entire screen and the traditional party battle of Final Fantasy games is evolved so you can enjoy battle even more strategically by switching party members. Via SP

He also switched to a frog, so I don't know if that says much unless a frog is playable too. That would make an interesting thread though..."No playable women in FFXV, has playable frog."
The last line seems to say something like " you can tactically change your party members to enjoy the battle."
I think this could mean something like Gambit, where you can change your party member's tactics, instead of changing control of the party members.
C'mon, we all know the Frog is really Cor in disguise.Yeah, Tabata said that the game was in debug mode... :/
Could have been a female frog. Two birds with one stone.
New plot details: Get to Luna to have her kiss frog-Cor and turn him back into a human. Then Noctis and co discover the fabled story of the princess and the frog and realize Cor is the real prince and Noct is adopted.C'mon, we all know the Frog is really Cor in disguise.
The description talks about changing party members, but makes no mention of switching leaders, so it doesn't really tell us anything we don't already know. I guess it does confirm that there will be more than 4 party members in the game.
Stelluna will most likely join the party then.
He has no twitter, the outrage about this is minimal compared to other similar cases, and the interviews have never given him an avenue to discuss the matter at length.
It's not like he did another new round of interviews after TGS where he's had time to react to this. Most of the news and various outlet interviews were around the same time, just released in different timing.

didnt that petition get an official response from SE, basically it said:
"we notice, but we can't share anything yet, please be patient and wait for more info"
Sure, this basically tells us nothing, but it shows they are aware of the concerns people have with the gameplay

I could definitely see them cutting it, in effort to make the holiday 2015 deadline, tbh.In the 2011 trailer, they showed Prompto being controlled and aiming his gun.
I would be surprised if party member switching doesn't make it in.
I'm just super skeptical as it is. Tabata, had zero reservations about completely upending Nomura's vision for the battle system, which still seemed in place back at the E3 2013 trailer (we even had a breakdown analysis done by gaffers. It was super promising)Well designing mechanics for each member sure is a lot of work but... this has been in development for 8 years. It's not like they didn't have time. So cutting things to make a deadline now seems shitty.
That unless my theory is correct and this game was actually cancelled for most of the 2006-2012 time.
Source?
i didnt know they responded.
They already seem to have a buttload of movesets for the characters, so I'm not sure if it would be all that much work just to make all those moves playable, especially since they pretty much have to think about the handling & balancing of all the different kinds of weapons because Noctis can use them. I mean, they already have all kinds of movement animations for the characters, would it be all that much work to give the player control over them? And they already have plenty of different kinds of attacks.I could definitely see them cutting it, in effort to make the holiday 2015 deadline, tbh.
Designing entire battle systems for each member seems like a shitload of work (an ability that made me most hyped for this game). I could see them saying "fuck it" and default to this new whatever-it-is.
Demos often limit the degree of control, whether it's by limiting the moveset or the amount of characters you can control. Maybe Noctis gameplay is the furthest along in a way that they can give gamers a look at a slightly more powerful late-game Noctis whereas the others are more WIP so they'd rather just let the AI handle them for the time being.I'm just super skeptical as it is.

Tabata mentioning "only controlling Noctis" even if he's just referring to the demo, make me uneasy. Why would such a crucial feature not make it into the polished demo? Either it's coming in really hot, or they nixed it =\
Can't wait to see what they're going to show on Thursday. Any chances that Tabata will talk about Luna, or the story?
They obviously haven't taken out the character (formerly known as?) Stella. I mean, we see her in the trailer (though much different from her past design). There are some pretty simple explanations for the name:I want him to tell us if Stella is Luna or if Luna is in fact another character and Stella is still in. That's all I want to know honestly. Taking out Stella would be bad as Nomura said she had a crucial role in the story just a year ago.
Maybe Luna is the black-ish blue haired lady whose portrait we see in the 2013 trailer.
Maybe Luna is cher and changes her hair depending on her moodDoubt it, they confirmed in Dengeki Luna was the blonde woman in the trailer.
Oh, ok, I haven't read Dengeki's FFXV information. Have been somewhat busy the last couple of weeks.Doubt it, they confirmed in Dengeki Luna was the blonde woman in the trailer.
