Final Fantasy XV: Patente de Tabata ¿Sistema de combate de FFXV?

Pues resulta que un usuario de NeoGaf ha encontrado una patente registrada por Square Enix en abril de este mismo año de un sistema de combate inventado por Hajime Tabata, que como ya sabemos es la nueva cabeza tras Final Fantasy XV, y que cuadra bastante con el nuevo sistema de combate que tendrá el juego más cercano al que tuvo Final Fantasy XII que al de Kingdom Hearts:


[b]ANALYSIS:[/b]

Basic Overview
Different offensive actions (called "attack methods") become available when certain "positional conditions" are met (your positioning in the battlefield, and in relation to other characters or monsters);
Thus, the player can determine which action they wish to execute by positioning themselves in the right place;
All attack methods are executed this way by the press of a single button: the one attached to Attack.
The goal for this is to streamline button input complexity, making a single Attack button the trigger for most kinds of offensive actions, so that beginners can enjoy combat immediately, while preserving decision making and choice that advanced RPG players would expect from the genre.

[b]"Gambit" System:[/b]



The images available show a structured system where attack methods and positional conditions are set up in a way that greatly resembles FFXII's gambit system. On the right side, you have types of actions (Boomerang, Spell A, Spell B, etc). On the left side, you have conditions based on character's positioning (how close or far they are). Those "gambits" are priotized exactly as they were in FFXII: the higher the row, the higher the priority.

Several examples were listed for positional conditions and attack methods.
"Nearest from player character", "Nearest from allied character", "Farthest from (...)", "In contact with (...)", etc. FFXII had some gambits like that, too, but this versions expands from it, to the point that it can determine if characters are within 3m or 10m of distance of each other, or if enemies are facing the character or not (you can attack enemies from the front or from the back).
"Close attack with sword", "Distant attack with boomerang", "Attack Spell B", etc. (I assume that when pressing the button to attack, if the character is far from the enemy, will make the character automatically switch to/ usa a ranged weapon, or at least if specified in a gambit-ish system.)



When you press the Attack Button, the game verifies your position, picks the correct "gambit" for it, and the attack method attached to the gambit is executed.



[b]More details:[/b]

-Targetting enemies is automatic by default (based on priotized gambits). For example, If your higher priority gambit is using Spell A against a foe within 3m of you, and you press the Attack button exactly when there's a foe within that range, the game will automatically target that foe

-Pressing R and L buttons allows you to manually target and priotize targets, where the game will then pick the highest priority gambit you have that can be used for that target.

-This system applies both to allied characters controlled by the AI, and the player character with manual input. So you can have allied characters only do certain actions if the player character is near them.

-This system can be customised before and during the battle, through a menu.

-New positional conditions can be obtained through the game.

-New attack methods can be obtained through the game, whenever the player equips new items, learns new skills, etc.

-The number of attack method/ gambit rows can be expanded/ obtained through the game.

-While setting up positional conditions, the system will automatically filter the number of actions to those that only make sense. For example, it'll be impossible to set up a close-ranged attack that triggers if you are far from the enemy.

-There's the possibility to switch to a more manual input mode, where attacks can be attached to several buttons.



Si no he entendido mal el sistema de combate (siempre y cuando esta patente sea el sistema de combate de FFXV) se basaría en que según en que situación nos encontremos al atacar Noctis ejecutaría una acción u otra y dichas acciones serian configurables tanto en batalla como fuera de esta. Además el juego nos daría la opción de jugar en un modo manual (como pasaba si no estoy equivocado en FFXIII) en la cual asignaríamos cada una de esas acciones a un botón para nosotros mismos encadenarlas pulsando combinaciones de botones.
