Right, the whole hybrid thing is weird and it seems to lower(or stop? can't tell over the talking) the music. I digress though.

Hey Guest. Check out your NeoGAF Wrapped 2025 results here!
Final Fantasy XV has a wait mode (turn based implementation of the combat system)

really like this feature and somehow it looks cool.

yeah, the music needs to keep playing. It breaks the flow of the battle.

The music option is at 0.
I'll probably stick to 'normal' on my first playthrough, and do 'hard' on my second . . . That is, assuming a 'hard' mode is included.
What's strange is that the music is playing anyway. That's why I was wondering if the different modes had their own settings.

FFXV's Twitter released a video on twitter showcasing this as well: https://amp.twimg.com/v/50331834-bc8a-4daa-b9aa-c42eb26c1768
(The music used in this video is so goooood)

I'll probably play on normal until it gets too hard for me to care lol. I so want to avoid grinding.

Added to OP and gave you kudos for posting, bb.
Glad to hear it, sister. It seems we're both getting the same edition.
Let's hope XV will be fun.
Let's hope, sis!

Okay, so the music just lowers. Still don't like it.
Dude this game has the worst fucking marketing ever. Why is it so up and down?
This looks great. Why wasn't this shown at a conference?

Understandable. Sometimes it's nice to enjoy the story without getting drained out from the difficulty.
I'm like that with Metal Gear. Despite being an avid fan, I suck at stealth, so I usually play on easy. And when I get caught by an enemy, I usually run away or attack 'em, lol.
As for XV, I'm gonna try not switching to easy, but I might . . . Struggled a bit with Iron Giant in the Platinum Demo.

It's optional.

This is good news to me because I'm still unconvinced at Square's ability to make a decent action system

Hard mode action mode first playthrough leggo
It seems like there is no need to keep going to menu. You can switch from realtime to wait mode with a button press. Good. The music still plays but it's lower in wait mode.

Meh, seems to make the game significantly easier and boring
Yea this is real time with pause, not turn based. It looks like a last minute addition rather actually something that the game was designed around since it looks like it breaks the game balance.

You don't need to use it.

Basically any time they go into "Appeal to the Mainstream" mode it goes to shit.
FFXIII didn't have wait mode, it had an option to slow down the fight by slowing the ATB charge rate for you and your enemies.
I wouldn't call the wait mode a turn based mode, that pretty much changes the gameplay, strategy and requires a different combat engine altogether. It is most likely a slow mode with longer intervals between attacks.

Nice option. I might use it at times. The combat system seems a bit messy sometimes.

its in older games like FF7 as well like when you are selecting a command the enemy can't attack you.. This is nothing new reminds me of 12 a lot though.

Lets be embarrassed together.
As someone who finds action combat RPGs with party-members too stressful (because I feel like I have to babysit them and can nothing do about the stupid AI), Wait Mode put this game finally back on my map, where it was right after the very first teaser in 2006.
You can't imagine how happy it makes me. And it's completely optional, too.
I really hope they have something similar planned for FF7:R.

Looks like an easy mode. They spent so much time developing a action based game to add a mode that seems like it completly runins the flow.
First post always nails it...

C'mon now, get that Dark Souls "git gud" bullshit out of this thread. We don't like that kinda talk 'round 'ere!

XV's hype machine
So true!
Have to say, I love that the game pauses when you stop moving, as opposed to having to press a pause button. Such a simple but seldom used mechanism for adding tactical options to realtime gameplay.

That's right kid,
I call it Immersive mode
BTW
i don't care about the wait mode,
but it sucks that the colors go black and white no?
Ugh, that sounds terrible (not turn-based being terrible, because I love turn-base), but the fact that they won't make up their minds as to what this game is.
Is it a fast-paced, KH-ish action game? Is it a action jRPG a la Tales of XYZ, or is it a turn-based? Is it a third-person game, or is it first-person VR?
You can't make it all of these things at once.
