The Combat
If the trailers are any indication, Final Fantasy XV‘s gameplay is vastly different from the traditional combat system we’re used to in older Final Fantasy games. Holding down a face button will allow Noctis to start swinging his sword at his enemies and get into an attack combo. Noctis will also have a set of techniques that you can attach to each of your weapons. These techniques will drain your MP as you execute them.
Noctis is able to summon his weapons out of thin air and unleash techniques such as Drain Thrust and Dragoon Jump, so you’ll be able to experiment with various skills and see which ones fit your play style best.
When your HP has been drained, Noctis will be weakened and unable to attack. A red bar will appear on-screen and if this red bar is fully depleted as well, you’ll get a Game Over screen. Fortunately, your buddies can heal you and restore your health if you get too banged up.
