Yup, I stand by my early-on prediction that the combat system will be something that is a hybrid of elements of RTwP and TB or else something completely new.
Similarly, I stand by my prediction that the perspective will be a hybrid of third-person and top-down with fully rotatable camera(s).
You mean something ala Vagrant Story?
I have no idea. My universe of video games I play is very narrow and specific.
With the latter, I meant that the perspective would switch between the two, third person and top down, not that the perspective would literally be some combination of the two.
