During the announcement, Kitase and other presenters also detailed how combat works in FF7 Remake. The real-time action has a strategic element through command-based combat called Tactical Mode. Once two ATB bars are filled after landing enough attacks, time slows down and allows you to perform various abilities and – if Materia is equipped – cast spells. Using items while in battle reduces the ATB bars' charge.See the rest of the FF7 Remake combat breakdown in the video below:Yesterday, we got the news that Final Fantasy VII Remake will be released on March 3, 2020 , although it wasn't clear how much would be released on that day, given previous news that it will be an episodic game.
