Yes, it’s not turn based like in the original. But you characters still have ATB bars that fill, at which point you can perform abilities, cast spells, call forth summons, or use items by spending ATB. This can be done instantly with shortcuts, or you can slow down time in a tactical mode, while you choose your next action.
I recommend trying the demo for Rebirth. I enjoyed it much more than Remake. Combat is expanded/improved. One of Remake’s issues was a lot of the optional content/side quests weren’t very fun. Rebirth has a lot of optional content, and IMO most of it is fun.
It’s a remake of a game from 1997, being released in 3 separate games/installments. This is the 3rd and final installment/game, releasing in Spring of 2027.
I have experienced this many times in my life. Was always terrifying and painful til someone posted something just like this years ago. Now it’s just painful. Still scares the crap out of my wife every time she sees it happen to me to though.
Synesthesia. That or prosopagnosia.
Me too, but given some scenes in Rebirth, I expect we will still see him quite a bit. I wouldn’t be surprised if he is involved in introducing/progressing unlocks in the new FITS system.
