I just hope we can switch characters in battle.

I don't understand why people would want it to be the PS1 FFVII ATB system with a graphical upgrade... if you want identical gameplay, just play that version. I still replay it every few years, the graphics have a nostalgic charm that I think has actually aged alright. Better than VIII or IX, maybe even X and XII. I would play it even if it was pure ARPG, so long as the locations, characters and storylines are intact which (from what we've seen) they seem to be... it looks like quite a faithful update of the scenery. A bit disappointed that Barret seems to be more "Blade" than "Mr. T", but then I don't think they REALLY intended Mr. T in the first place
.
I'm not hugely bothered by actually SWITCHING characters - what I think would be awesome, is an action-based system for Cloud with sword (and others when they take over for a bit... Sephiroth in the flashbacks for example... and Tifa when Cloud starts drooling) with the others auto-fighting and alongside it, a "pause" system that would then bring up the classic menu where you could control any of the three characters other actions like magic, summons, steal, limit break etc. (with three little ATB style bars in the corner to show you when a character is ready to use such an action).
Would be a great way to merge old (control) and new (style / action) IMO...
