Tanaka had a much, much better vision for the game; unfortunately, the implementation was rather poor (well, I still think it was due to rushing, but there's no way to know for sure). I came to ARR hoping to see 1.0 done right. What I found instead was a generic MMORPG casserole with a picture of FFXIV plastered over top of it like some derranged kind of video game Leatherface.
Oh noes, god forbid we have a system in place that rewards synergy and working in concert with your party members. 1.0 actually had a newer version of the SC system called Battle Regimens, but it got scrapped due to all kinds of technical bugs. I for one would love to see it come back to add an extra layer of strategy. I also really miss being able to break/disable body parts on NMs to cripple them, like breaking Ifrit's Horns to weaken him in Extreme Mode (1.23) or Chimera's tail to block his old poison attack.
