While Final Fantasy XIII-2 may not be coming out for a couple of months… January 31st to be exact, we’ve heard a few things about the game’s combat system which has seen a few tweaks as well as one brand new mechanic. As you can see in the video below Square Enix has provided a full focus video on the various combat mechanics in the Active Time Battle system that was used in FFXIII which allows for Paradigm Shifts to change character roles.
Plus in this video we see the brand new Cinematic Action sequence which is more or less a quick time event in battle which will pull off an amazing looking move or action during the battle. Plus, if you pay close attention you can even see Snow fighting alongside Serah and Noel temporarily, though he won’t be a playable character.
