There's no way AA will be scrapped because no matter how bad it's implementation is (and it not really bad, since it's almost a clone of the best parts of FF11), it's better then the current battle system.

Anyone who wants the "I don't know what product it is, but it sounds great when they talk about it" battle system, is naive as it can get.

Dreaming of a flying car and building one are two completely different concepts.
