After you watched the gameplay of FFXV, how did you feel?

@wiouds: ....

You talked as if button mashers (in your context) are bad games.....

So I showed you a bunch of "button mashers" that will most likely have similar mechanics as FFXV.

And they are NOT bad games at all.

button mashers are games where you can win by not knowing what buttons you're even pressing. So from all those games you just mentioned Bayonetta and the DMC reboot are the closest thing to a button masher. But to give you an exact example of what a button masher is then that would the battle system of Kingdom Hearts 2. For later games they included a cool down gauge in hopes of making the games more strategic but they still are as brain dead as always.

@Gue1: IKNOW.

But can't you see the way he referred to FFXV as button masher while it's clearly following DMC/Bayonetta-like gameplay mechanics. Meaning that you'll have to press a combination of buttons to produce a combination of attacks and obviously spamming won't work....since it has been said that you can only unleash your next attack after your previous has hit which is even more remote from the idea that FFXV will be a button masher.

BUT IN THE OTHER GUY'S COMMENT: He said it will simply be a button masher.......and since we know that FFXV is not a button masher I saw my chance to add other "Button Mashers" to a list.

Whilst not being Button Mashers, yes!

But in his correlation bais, He clearly does not know what Button Mashing means.

In other words, I played along with his game.

I find a button masher to also be where you don't care what you press or can win by repeating only the basic stuff. I find that in JRPG that focus on action I care little to nothing about what powers I am using. That is my biggest problem with the Tales of games.

@wiouds: You definition of Button mashing is slightly different from the original concept.... therefore people will misunderstand you when you say Button mashing in the future....

Button Mashing is not "win by repeating only the basic stuff"

Mashing is mindless and without pattern.

@acp_45: It about not putting thought into what you're pressing.

Also all those beat-em-up are way better as fast pace action games compare to RPG that focus on fast pace actions. That is another reason why I say FFXV game play look meh.

peeps are hating on the demo in the kotaku comments

@PurpleMan5000: Well it's a step in the right direction considering Kingdom Hearts is better than Final Fantasy.

@SexyJazzCat: I disagree. Kingdom Hearts was one of the worst games I have ever played. Some games in the Final Fantasy series are very good.

I just want this to be good and not end up sucking like FF13. Period.

Can't make connection with those characters ...so it ain't for me....

Impressive! Now that it's an action game!
The graphic took my breath away though, as usual.
And um,,,, all those boys aren't good looking enough LOL

Watched some more of this on Twitch and WOW that Ramuh summon was simply AMAZING although I'm really hoping that getting your HP to 0 isn't the only way to summon, I want to be able to do this at will.
