1)sazh attacking with his guns
2)attacking enemies will fill up this yellow meter with that Bonus percentage that probably will stronger your attacks.....then the opponent will go BREAK (with 2 circles around them)......then you will be allowed to use the Launcher attack and then ground attack/fire etc attacks will become aerial combos.....so attack an opponent->BREAK->launch him in air then aerial attacks/magic
3)you can set 1-3 attacks at will and then press /\ to start the combo.......while selecting these commands, the ATB will not refill until you press /\ and EVERY attack animation end.....while if you set just 1 attack, then start with /\, it will start refilling, then when it's full for 1/3, you can set another attack, then start with /\ etc.....it will be faster but you will just attack 1 time and so no combos and no bonus chains/break
4)going frame by frame i noticed that after your attacks ends and so your ATB is empty, the commands change into 3 strange commands without ATB cost and triangle /\ button....
look
Firaga attack animation (look at normal commands.....ATB cost and triangle /\ button)
then:
look at these 3 commands without ATB costs and triangle /\ button......what are them for? anyone can translate japanese kanji on them?
i have 2 ideas:
IDEA A)the first one command of these 3, is for starting another combo commands selection, when you have 1 or more ATB sections.....look:
Aerial Combo:
then the 3 commands without ATB costs and triangle /\ button.....and the blue ATB is refilling:
then he choose the first command of three, and normal commands with ATB cost and trinagle /\ button appear again
IDEA B)these 3 commands are for controlling AI party members....like "ATTACK", "USE MAGIC", "SUPPORT" or something similar.....and this would explain other members attacks during main char combos....like Snow attack during Lightining combo on this dog on snow field....or Sazh gun shots during Lightning rush to this Metal Scorpion with Chainsaws boss
---------
however i didn't understand yet if other party members are selectable and playable or you can just set commands for main char (one with yellow flag)....i really hope you can set commands for every party member :(
