There's no massive amount of confirmations. But you do enter a "sub" screen when targeting an enemy (Visible through the Battle preview trailer).
So far it seems fairly good. If you've played Spectral Forces 3 for the Xbox360, then you will find the combat familiar.
Close allies can join in, and attack the enemy while you attack. But some attacks move the enemy, eg. hit them up into the air, and if you use an attack from a character that targets a ground enemy on an enemy in the air, it will miss completely. So you have to keep track of what your characters' weapons are capable of.
So far I've played it about 15 minutes (some story and one battle). It is fairly interesting, and if the story continues this way, it will be an unusual role for the main hero of an RPG.
Note: I never played Valkyrie Profile 1 or 2. (PSX and PS2 games).
