I know you cannot compare game development to building a skyscraper, but in the sense of priority, this is the best way it can be done, or else you may find yourself creating extra work, and I'm sure as shit nobody wants to wait any longer for SE.
i don't think anyone thinks it is that easy. But still there are some future-fixes like getting rid of sp, linkshell management, search function etc. that don't really change after autoattack is implemented... or am i getting something wrong.
I think these issues should be adressed parallel and imediately. I'm not sure but the only reason they don't do it atm would be they completely change the ui from scratch, not only the battle ui. Did they state that somewhere? (im not sure tbh, they might have said that but i dont think so).
