>>46442930There's no question that this image is real, but what I find curious is that it didn't show up anywhere. This is not from the main site, and there hasn't been a press kit that's been handed to various sites, so I wonder what happened to this.
On the subject of ATB; It's really not a system designed for 1v1 battles. It's a system used by FF and other JRPGs, in which you usually have a party of 3-5 characters. In games like these an ATB system works because you have multiple characters to give commands to while the ATB gauges of other characters are filling up. In a 1v1 situation it just turns into the same as straight turn based, but with waiting involved. It would just seem like change for the sake of change in my eyes.
I am actually dying for more info on this game and how--if it is ATB at all--this system will work.
One thing is for sure; if it's based on Speed then it would make slower Pokemon pretty damn shitty. You can use slow Pokemon in the normal Turn Based system since you know you will get a turn in, but if it's based on Speed some faster Pokemon will get multiple turns BEFORE a slower mon could even move once, and that's bad.
