It's kinda like this:

This shows cut-scenes, skits, combat, artes, field exploration, treasures and user interface stuff. The video is in Japanese, so if you don't understand Japanese then it shouldn't spoil any story stuff for you.

Keep in mind this is from the PS3 version, which has worse draw distance and other issues which won't apply to the PS4 and PC versions.

It is an action RPG. Different characters get different moves/spells. You control one character while the AI or other players (locally) control the others, but you can set shortcuts to command the AI characters to do things for you, or switch to them on the fly. In this particular instance of this series the battles take place on the same screen as exploration. In most recent entries there are enemies running around on the screen you explore and running into them would load a battle arena for the fight to take place in.

The primary battle system involves you moving forward or away from your targeted opponent while you can use moves/spells/block. You can "free run" (you are not only stuck in a straight line) by holding a button down, however. There may be further options for that I haven't played this version yet.

Here is the official PC stream where they showed it off (this video does have spoilers, but it's early game I'm told):
