Tanaka or Yoshi?

You have to understand that Tanaka wasn't planning on revising the battle system. Until the new battle system comes in we won't see any "major" content added. I'm sure if Yoshida didn't have to change the battle system we would be probably seen that stuff earlier.

Well, you have to understand, I never wanted a new battle system. I never voted for it, either. I know people did and that's fine, but if we're speaking simply on what I want, it was never a new battle system. I simply wanted the old battle system to run better, faster, flashier, and more fun. I don't want auto-attack but other than that I have no idea if I'll like the new battle system. That's just me, though.

The battle system needs a lot of improvement, but I would prefer systems already in place simply live up to their potential, rather than get thrown away for systems I know I don't like as much (XI, WoW). Keep in mind, I have no idea what the new system will be so I'm not judging it. I'm just laying down some fair warning. If it is an old battle system that has already worn me out, I probably won't like it. If it's something new, or some kind of improvement over the aforementioned systems (XIV, XI, WoW, whatever) then maybe I will like it. It all remains to be seen.

"Auto-attack" is a bad launching point and selling point in my opinion though. I admittedly don't know how it will work in XIV, I never liked it at all - unless I wanted to get up and make a sandwich while farming "Too Weak" mobs. I like a system that's more interactive and rewards players for being attentive. We'll see what comes, won't we?

Though, I'd love to have a preview before hand. I don't want to ask too much of the devs, though. I know they're busy making things "better" or at least "bigger."

I thought the battle system was fine too, I just thought it needed to be more responsive. But what I want doesn't matter, it's what the majority wants. We're not sure if they're just adding only an auto-attack or not, if they were just doing that then that would suck. But we should hear something soon about the battle system.
