I didn't see a character list of any kind... I'm REALLY hoping they don't do something egregiously stupid, like making this ANOTHER ****ing single character control with AI support system.

From what it looked like you were control Cloud or Barret. There are times in the game you don't have Cloud, so I going to guess that they are all going to be playable.

Edit: Looking closer at the combat segment. You can see when the camera goes to Barret that the UI reflects that Barret is who you're controlling and Cloud is going off AI probably. So there is definitely more than Cloud as playable.

Also, if you look in the UI, there is a meter that increases as they go through combat and eventually turns red. It may be some sort of cooldown you have to take between combos. They may be trying for a more hybrid approach to combat where it is part action RPG and part ATB combat.

They've been sort of trying that for a while. It's just that the balance has been bad. If they just want it to LOOk more realistic than standing in a line taking turns, I'd go for something along the lines of AI controlled autocombat with fairly low damaging attacks, with ATB/turn based commands accounting for most of the damage.

That's pretty much how MMO combat works. So it is something that is doable. Though I think for single player games, they tend want to put all of the control into the players hand, including when they make any sort of attack.

I'm really hyped and excited for this game to be released. I don't care that its in multiple parts, I just want to see the old squad kicking some serious ass in glorious HD! Finally, now all I need is to see how summons work and how they will look...gawd they better make me have an eyegasm...XD

Have you seen the Ramuh summon in FFXV? I'm expecting it be like that in terms of scale and over-the-top epicness. FFXV showed we could have classic PSone era summons back in the modern age.

I'm looking forward to summoning Bahamut(in its multiple forms) just to see him completely annihilate the field in glorious HD...XD I can't wait, just need to get a PS4 before the end of next year.

And yeah, I did see Ramuh in FFXV, and its making me curious to see how the others will look in that game too.

Overall, I just can't wait to fully play both games whenever they hit the store. And if there are any pre-order specials / DLC bonuses, then hell yeah I'm gonna get on dat shiit!
