You can see press turn icons at 00:40, magnetite at 00:53 and "archetypes" at 00:36 similar to the demon forms of the dds cast. This game is shaping up to be absolutely great Edit: Press turns are actually best seen in the sequence starting at 1:09, where the enemy's (red) press turn icon is slightly smaller and has an additional glow to it to indicate that the press turn has already been triggered once

[@neoshenlong]

The attacks also seem to be following the Megaten formula (00:41). There's actually a Matarukaja skill that likely raises all the party attack. That said if you look at the skills the "press turn icons" are actually there on top of the MP cost, wonder if actions will actually cost a different amount of turns in this sytem.

[@neoshenlong]

Also at 1:02 you can see that you can learn archetypes and skills, which probably means there is a class system with a relatively big degree of freedom.

[@joon7854]

The synthesis menu showed skills with mp cost as well as the red press turn symbols. Does using said skills give the enemy different amounts of press turns? Or do they use up more than one of your own? Since it looks like it’s a combo attack between 2 party members, I’m thinking it probably costs more than 1 press turn.
