Birth by Sleep Controls

Alright, this is what I think the controls will be, using all the information we have so far. Just a quick recap of the main battle system:

Here's a typical battle in BBS:



Now then, the way it works is you attack with circle (this is only in the Japanese version; you attack with X in the english version). You see the three commands above attack? That's what I'll call the "Command Deck". Pressing triangle activates the selected attack, then the next move will take its place. The attack you have just used charges (as seen with the orange bit). A bit like CoM, eh? I believe you can mix and match attacks by both attacking and using moves from the Command Deck to form combos. Maybe you can press the up and down directional buttons to switch between moves.

Now what I'm thinking is that three moves is too little, so I think that as you level up, you gain more "Command Bars". Three Bars make up one Command Deck. To scroll through Decks, you press select. I also believe that you have a "Medical Deck" where you can assign Cure, potions, ethers, etc. to any of the three Bars in that Deck. You will only have ONE Medical Deck, and it will ALWAYS be the last Deck. So at the beginning of the game (when you still have only one Command Deck) and you need to heal, you can simply press select to go to the Medical Deck and use Cure or a potion. But as you gain more Bars and create more Decks, it's going to become more difficult to get to the Medical Deck because you'll need to scroll through like six Decks to get to it, and that'll be pretty frustrating. So this is what I think, to jump straight to the last Deck (aka. Medical Deck), you simply press the right directional button, and to jump to the first Deck, press the left directional button. Sound good?

Alright, let's get to what I think the controls are:

Analog Nub - Move character

L Button - Rotate camera left
R Button - Rotate camera right
L or R twice - Reset camera
L+R - Lock on

Up D-Button - Go up a Bar on the Command Deck
Down D-Button - Go down a Bar on the Command Deck
Right D-Button - Jump to last Deck (aka. Medical Deck)
Left D-Button - Jump to first Deck

X Button - Attack
Circle Button - Jump (press twice to air dodge)
Square Button - Guard (press while moving to do dodge move)
Triangle Button - Use selected command/Reaction Command

Start - Pause game
Select - Scroll through Command Decks

 

i don't think i could have come up with that with the info we have for it,cause that looks very good for a control set.

 

Wow..where did you get that screenshot?

 

Nice, how did you get that info. Did you translate the Command on the Screenshot for a little bit info?

 

I was focused more on the picture tbh.awesome!

 

A bunch of new screenshots and info came out during Jump Festa last December. I put up here what I think the controls and features of the battle system are, using all the bits of info out on it so far.

 

wow did u go there?? it should be funny!!! thanks for the info
