Please Square Enix, no more button spam mechanics.

If you're the "blocker", you have to spam a button?

I also don't think I should have to explain how spamming ONE button over and over fails to be an engaging and fun mechanic.

You can press all the buttons if you wanted. I enjoy it, it is a nice distraction for a few moments from having to worry about my rotation etc and just watch the cool sequence while spamming buttons to fill the gauge.

FF14 has QTE now? -.- well i dont care how many times we wipe i refuse to do QTE i have nerve damage in my hand i can play normally just fine but i cant button spam and iam not even going to try

You are not going to like the last fight...

Umm.... Spoiler Warning for Shinryu? If he's in the main story not everyone is there yet.

It only happens once and she can be rezzed right after easily, and she can avoid Susano's active time maneuver all together.

With a wipe though if I notice someone continuously doing something - or not doing something - I won't waste my mana on them. It's part of the game. Adapt or accept the fact not everyone is gonna cater to you.

As long they don't abuse, it is okay have some,

Both Susano and Shinryu suffer from this, although its worse with susano.

I came to dread wiping at susano becuase I'd have to repeat this un fun part of the fight.

Don't get me wrong, the rest of these battles are great but the button spam needs to be entirely re thought.

Well in these fights, there are other people in your party so you could ask one of them to do it. A lot of us love these things; it is my favorite part of rhe Susano fight.

I -love- how they did it in Susano-o!

Last fight was kinda lack luster. (Btw, I think its kinda still spoilery to have that in the first post day two of official launch don't you?)

I'm fine with it. Its a nice change of pace. Better than having a boss jump and become invuln with nothing else to do.
