Battle Reform Blueprint

[Dimo]

i am a little confused overall... according to SE, the first big update is coming in mid june, with a ton of changes coming this summer.. 90% of these answers are "we will look into it" or "stamnia gauge is being removed"...what exactly have they done/been doing??

I think they mean
if they are looking into it, they are testing it now, seeing if it actually works with the systems, and what else it effects

If they will look into it, its not something currently on thier list, but they are acknowleging the suggestion, and will see if it is a good idea, eventually.

As far as what they have been doing, i think one of the letters or some post implied that up until recently they were still in the paper/idea phase of planning battle adjustments, it is only recently that they have actually begun implementing and testing thier ideas, so either they have been doing nothing, or something depending on how you view the planning phase of a project

SE business culture probably.

I'm sure there's much more going on, but there's red tape that they just can't get through.

That's me giving them the benefit of the doubt, though. I could be totally wrong and they're just sitting around twiddling their thumbs all day, but I'd rather be optimistic and believe they're just not able to talk about all the stuff yet for a myriad of reasons, most of all red tape.

I don't think it's red tape. I think their developers are having trouble adapting to the HD era. 6 months later the answer is "we're thinking about it" or here's a "blueprint". They can't get with the times. So they're in for a big learning experience, and that's slowed them to a crawl.

That's also a possibility. They've said as much when speaking about FFXIII(which for the record I enjoyed, you vultures), and when speaking about how "hard it would be to make an FFVII remake."

With elongating the life cycle of HD consoles though, I think we can expect SE to reach their stride within a year or so. FFVII and VIII weren't as technically impressive as FFIX, FFX wasn't as FFXII, etc.
