I hope they change it, I’ve not really clicked with the real time FF games.
The best turn based combat system that I personally ever played has been the Mario RPG games because of the button prompt requirements for bonus damage. I haven’t played CO yet though.
E33 is less Mario RPG, and more Sekiro in all honesty. You’re gonna have a bad time if you don’t get your dodge or parry timings down.
That said, it’s still a phenomenal game, and speccing into HP and defense early on trivializes a lot of the challenge until a certain point.
I’m fine with either. I never liked ATB, but X had a great system. However, I equally liked XV. Give me a finished game with XV’s system and I’d love it.
I just never bothered with XVI because they stripped out most of the RPG from my JRPG.
