I think the problem is he can't go into detail about anything and has to build his answers around PR buzzwords. >_>
Or I'm just grasping at straws!

You'd be amazed how much pre-preparation goes into talking points to answer with during these sorts of things. Half the challenge with being an interviewer in this scenario is nudging them off script so you can get some interesting, unsanitized tangent.

I'm just going to post what someone else said.
"There is a difference. No matter what game, you always want the controls to be as easy as they can get (at least in my opinion). The challenge does not lie in controlling your own character, that's just frustrating. The challenge is in the enemies and the world itself. You read it in the wrong context."
Taba simply means the game is player friendly, which shouldn't be a surprise because Nomura said that for years. Taba said he cannot go into full details over mechanics such as defend action other than if you hold down the button, Noctis will quickly evade though players still retain control over him. I already saw what he briefly described in the live footage. So the evidence of it is there. I will reserve judgement until it the demo. It doesn't sound like your standard auto action where you leave the controller down because it does for you.

We can see it in action here. Looks pretty cool. He doesn't want people remebering overwhelming combos, but still wants to make an action game, seems to me like a nice compromise for a game aiming to sell 8M+
All these buttons I am about to guess on is revolved around his "1 button" statement:
Attack- XXXX= Attacking combo<--- The more you hit X the longer the combo
Defend- Hit or hold O to just defend
Magic- R2 or L2
Items- D-pad Right
Summons- D pad right
There will be no XOXOXXOXXO like combos, only XXXXXX to attack and OOOOO to defend. the fun part about the system is "knowing your enemy".
I believe this is what Tabata is trying to convey to us!

All these interviews are contradicting regarding the battle system,
This interview is talking about using a single button
This interview: http://squareportal.net/2014/09/22/...-five-interviews-and-tons-of-new-information/
Talks about a combination of buttons...
The basic idea is to build the battles upon a continuous flow of movements; this continuous flow is based on the combination of buttons you press and each action is chained into another in a seamless way.

I wonder if he's saying this because the cost to make this game is so bat shit insane now that selling only 5-6 million isn't acceptable? Usually this casual focus developers talk about implementing into their games has to do with the AAA market not being sustainable anymore. Can't just target the hardcore gamer.

If i cant hold my weapon at all times and and theres only 1 botton to attack and do not get to choose the weopons I use on my own I will not buy this game. The deck system just sounds horrible to me I want to freely use my weopons how I want to use them not by the context I want to use whatever weopon on whatever monster I want.
One button combat is fine, that's exactly what KH is, it's all about the execution... something we haven't seen in action yet. I just really would like to be able to chose my weapons on the fly, and not have it done on its own, as well as being able to time my combos how I want to... these are my only gripes with the battle system, and may even change in the future.
This gif here basically tells you you can button tap.

Attacks twice ( stops the combo, because the text next to Nocts name disappears for a split second then he attacks again), Confirming that he did let go mid combo before doing 1 additional attack, and then dodging.
During the course of the whole demo, The weapons came up in the exact order and timing.
1) Start combo- Big Sword ( 1 swing)
2) Middle of Combo- small sword with a flurry of attacks)
3) Finisher move- Spear ( 1 swing)
and every time finisher move is what kills the monster.
So if you want to use your favorite weapon ( like Katana for me) I would do:
1) Axe ( Starter)
2) Katana ( Middle of combo, and where most of the weapon will be used)
3) Great Sword- Finsher
