Any Details for the New Battle System?

So, Community Reps, do you guys have any juicy tidbits that you'd be able to share with us regarding the upcoming battle system changes? Something to tide us over for a bit?

Doesn't need to be anything major, but hopefully a bit more than a generic description like "sweeping changes to re-shape battle etc etc etc". Anything concrete that Yoshi-P's crew has decided upon and/or begun implementation?

Bayohne, Rukkirii, Gildrein and you other fine reps, I'm looking at you! :cool:

+ that we don't already know?

*edit*
I'm aware of all the letters and table of planned changes. Just looking for something along the lines of "This system is near completion" or "this system will work in this way" or "how the changes to auto attack will change so and so" etc etc...

If, of course, it's possible for the reps to give us any "insider" info ;)

I guess not, otherwise they would tell us~

SE's notorious for keeping close-lipped. But they've been a lot better lately ;)

It would be smart if they shared what they were doing with us, at least let us have some input before everything is redone and essentially set in stone.

Depends- a little leakage is nice... But full out spoilers... No thanks- that makes it tough to enjoy what we currently have... My wishlist on the matter...

-No "auto-attack", I rather like "Heavy Blow/Light Blow" and stamina based combat
-Removal of cooldowns- meaning that the stronger an attack is, the more TP/MP and stamina it consumes, simple.
-More dynamic in attack modifiers (making every skill potent, and no skill outclass another)
-Damage returns based on several different factors- Especially in regards to Pugilists
-"Stancing" that doesn't require discipline training... If I want to fight defensively or offensively why would I need extra training for such
-Broad skills- several skills which do the same thing are tasteless- several skills which do different things, but said different things resolve differently based on the user and environment are much more interesting.
-Broad possibilities- I'd like the idea of "DPS" to heavily challenged by allowing every character to be capable of such but at large risk for them, much as every character should be capable of "survival mode" as well.
