I like that the Q&A section further puts the mash button thing into perspective. You'll be able to parry and counter just like in Kingdom Hearts by attacking into an enemy attack. Honestly, this combat system far exceeds Kingdom Hearts. Anyone that was looking forward to the KH battle system (like myself) should be excited for this new battle system, as it takes everything Kingdom Hearts had to offer and makes it 100 times better.
Instead of pressing Triangle to have something cool happen, you actually get to DO something cool, you parry an Iron Giant three times and your friends if they're near by will help you out and it creates this experience where you feel like you're actually doing all the moves. Nothing feels scripted, besides what you have programmed with the gambits to happen.
This hybrid of Type-0 and KH combat is honestly making me even more excited. I was originally worried so much over the combat system, but now I couldn't be more happier. I love seeing the development team talk about what they worked on and joking around and actually showing off the game.
This game is ACTUALLY happening, guys... I've never doubted it before, but now SE is making it more clear than ever. They're putting EVERYTHING they got into this game, and it's going to be fantastic.
