Current Events > I'm playing FF15, and I'm continuously amazed how good FF7Remake combat is...

(+) Yeah! (+)

...After coming after 15s play sword slapbox combat

15's combat was a mess.

From what I played of FF7R's demo, its combat felt like a much smoother version of 15's (except iirc, I couldn't dodge or something?)

ff7r has a lot of incredibly stupid shit in it but when the combat actually works it feels amazing to fight

15 sucked. I couldn't get past the intro tutorial segment of the game.

Dodging is a specific materia in FF7R

I kinda loved FFXIV's combat. People might not like the "hold circle to auto dodge" mechanic, but that made it so fun to do some anime shit versus smaller enemies.

Clouds punishment mode is great, heavy hitting attacks is satisfying to pull off.

I dont like how they handle boss phase transitions, but the core concepts of the battle system are definitely great.

Yeah I feel bad for the staff that had to suffer under the troubled development of XV, but absolutely it walked so VIIR could run.

that would explain it

I liked XVs combat but I had low expectations for it being final fantasys first attempt at action based combat.

7R was a step up and that was my hope. That XV would be a trial basically and use it to figure out what works qnd what doesn't and improve from there.
