Final Fantasy director Tetsuya Nomura recently spoke in an interview regarding the in-game combat system in the upcoming Final Fantasy VII: Remake, and apparently there's no turn-based system in play here and Cloud can seek cover, much like Marcus Fenix, when the enemy attacks.
"In the story, in situations where you're sneaking around, you won't just be able to march down the middle of the path," he explained. "The original version had random encounters, and such parts were in the realm of imagination, but since this title is seamless and you see the path that you're infiltrating, I decided it was necessary for the sake of realism. You can use it in ways such as to hide in cover until enemy soldiers move along, or to throw a hand grenade from cover to annihilate the enemy. Of course, those who find it bothersome can just throw themselves into the fight."
Does this sound like a significant addition?
