Here's a clip: The most cohesive element in the game is its combat system, which is a blend of turn-based and real-time elements that's one part Final Fantasy Tactics, one part Super Mario RPG, and one part Final Fantasy X. You take control of a group of up to six fighters and engage in turn-based combat against an equal or greater number of foes (no one said all the fights in the game would be fair). As you go through the game, you'll gain access to a wide variety of fighters, ranging from standard humanoids to mystical creatures. Each fighter will have a set of attacks that you can expand as he or she gains experience. The attacks will range from simple single-button-press attacks to more involved assaults that require you to input a string of commands. You'll also find certain attacks will require you to input controller motions similar to the "overdrives" in Final Fantasy X. At the moment, the precise mechanics of the combat system are being tweaked and refined to ensure that the many battles you'll engage in are smooth experiences.
