Limit Break possabilities..

[Felis]

Could you please explain about the limit break that was shown in the movie
Y: Limit break is a new party battle system that replaces battle regimen. Would like the party members to think and decide at who is going to use at what timing.

Who has the right to use?
Y: If the gauge is full the entire party member can use. This gauge is shared within party if someone uses the limit break it gets emptied out.

Please explain how to increase that gauge
Y: Basically it will increase by just battling regularly but we also have a feature called “Fine Play” as well.

What is Fine Play?
Y: Like healing at the right timing or blocking. There is a category called nice play and by doing those the gauge increases faster.

Does the system decide if it’s fine play or not?
Y: Yes, its system side, however we are making adjustments so the balance is to a point where it’s not where you have to have fine play to increase the gauge.

It looks like limit break has several levels; is this decided depending on the amount on the gauge?
Y: Currently it’s by gauge, for this one if you can remember the limit break in “Final Fantasy 7”

Is limit break prepared per job?
Y: It’s not where there is 1 limit break per job since there are situations where it may break the balance so we deciding on this one carefully. However even if the effect is same depending on the job using the effect will be different. For example if Warrior and Paladin used the same limit break the effect will be different.

Does the limit breaks effect depend on amount of gauge or the weapon being used or would it change depending on party structure?
Y: We have idea for feature to change but currently it’s still being adjusted.

Can the limit break be used from low level?
Y: Yes, we are making it so you can use it even at somewhat low level, however there are limit break 1, 2, 3 so if you’re not high level you can’t use the higher level limit break, there is a link between characters growth. In beginning it’s like getting used to limit break system with level 1 limit break.
