Ignis, for example, can gather all the party members when instructed while Gladio can use his mighty sword to bring deal some major damage to an enemy. We can instruct the party members to perform certain moves. We only have the ability to control Noctis but we do have a certain degree of control over the characters that adds some layer of strategy to the battle. But again, the game still allows the player to use a Phoenix Down to restore their full health when they are near death, so unless you are out of them, you won’t die easily. So there are essentially two health bars here. The first attack might put us in the danger state but the second one will result in a death state. It is also possible to die easily in some of the tough boss fights if we are underleveled, as there is a good chance the enemy can one-shot kill the player. There are actually two auto save slots that save the game randomly but they mostly trigger during checkpoints, key sequences like completing a quest or other similar conditions, so it is definitely possible to lose progress if we die without saving properly.
Speaking of which, this might be a good thing for those who are afraid of losing their progress in case they venture into a tough boss fight after hours of exploration and forget to save the game.
It works well but at the cost of making the game far too easy, since there is no fear of getting killed at all by the enemy. Our party members can also recover our health from this state by reaching out to us and we can do the same for them.
If we lose all our HP, we will enter a ‘Danger state’ in which we are unable to perform any action but can still use items to recover health. It will be hard to get a game over since the game basically gives the player multiple chances to restore their health.
