Final Fantasy XV ATR Shows off the New Combat

[Andromeda]

The latest ATR for Final Fantasy XV had a few talking points. One of the bigger points was the combat system and all of the changes or unannounced parts of it. Using a raid on an enemy base to showcase the combat, players of the Duscae demo should see many changes compared to what was available in the demo. From a new interface, new controls for weapons and camera position, much of the feedback from the demo was put into the development and refinement. Something else that they explained was the magic system, which was promised, but not available in the demo. They have stated that there were be less magic, but the magic in the game will have more impact and each will feel very different in what it can do. Fire was shown off for the combat video, which can ignite fuel to explode, spread through grass and shacks interacting with the environment in ways that has not been seen in a FF game. They also noted that if it is raining, the fire will go out quickly, while Lightning will be enhance in storms and blizzard will freeze water. Magic is something that is equipped for combat and gathered as a resource to use.



Also shown in the ATR was more about the invading empire of Niflheim and the organizational structure of the Empire. The Empire is a science focused civilization developing things like cars, mechanical soldiers, magitech. Their military machine focused on large numbers overwhelming their enemies. The dragoon woman seen in previous videos was also previewed in the trailer at the end of the combat video. She is named Aranea Highwind and has earned the nickname Dragoon.
