Thankfully this seems to be a reworking of VX's engine, which is exactly what I was hoping for.
That party where Cloud turns sideways to squeeze through a gap is flat out re-skinned assets from VX.
I love me my turn based games (looking at you Dragon Quest) but I don't need to play the exact same game with better graphics. I want it to be different.
Yep. That scene immediately made me think of that cave in Episode Duscae.

Given how reminiscent this is of Kingdom Hearts and how much this looks like a RTB Hack and Slash I kneejerked into assuming that as well....until I noticed that.
Why would you have a selectable "Defend" option with a RTB system? You wouldn't.
Perhaps it's just a updated and very pretty turn based system?

*crosses fingers?*
Like in those RTB games where you block, roll, counter etc
Actually, XIII was real time (ish) and had a defend button iirc
You could guard, but only if your active character was a Sentinel. Otherwise it looked like this:
