Yes it is going to be kind of old schooled. Mixing afast pace of RPG [ala final fanstasy] and A different approach. I'm just itching to see what you guys will think of it.
Some Battle Aspects:
Overdrive skills
4 player team attacks
epic slash through animation
Classic RM2k animations REVAMPED
Side view battle
Time based atb - Stops only during execution of actions. What seemed like a chance to score in a combo laden out as your "extra turn" being skipped, as actions can be overturned by other actions being executed. Gives this a realistic affect of parrying and interuption.
What is with all these Monsters - Yes, At times there will be up to 8 Very difficult enemies on the battle field. Just play it smart against a 2:1 ratio.
Agility is your friend - High Agility stats mean you can dish out massive combos, from 2 to over 10 hits for one character!
Dexterity means something - Ofcourse strong attacks are useless if they miss. with Rifle, Her Dexterity really compensates for low agility. [It takes time to steady a gun].
MASSIVE BATTLE ANIMATIONS!!! - Remember Indy's intricate Razor sun animation. Ahh... good times. And I'm *hoping to bring some good battle animations* just to give wow factor. I do luvs my wowz.
Faceset use

Basic Gameplay:

Hold c to run - this button is your friend on timed events.
Quick Time events, don't worry, they won't kill you automatically, but succeding them will make the game so much more easier and you'll die less.
Break ins - You'll have to get your hands dirty sooner or later. THis is handy for getting supplies, but if you get caught, don't blame me, you have a choice.
Assasinations - You know those execution moves in halo reach? Yeah, those. Press the s action button in a stealth or espionage to constitute yourself for a nice and
but these are hard to pull off. you gotta do it with precision timing.
Backup - You can still only have up to 4 people at a time in your party, but you can switch whenever you like, and unlike lax party, people not in your party still get 20-40% of the Exp, so you don't have "lagging ppls".
