Please Square Enix, no more button spam mechanics.

No more "Active time manuver" mechanics where you have to spam one button super fast. those are neither fun nor engaging and only cause muscle strain in the hands.

Both Susano and Shinryu suffer from this, although its worse with susano.

I came to dread wiping at susano becuase I'd have to repeat this un fun part of the fight.

Don't get me wrong, the rest of these battles are great but the button spam needs to be entirely re thought.

Anybody in the party can and want to do it. Just let them?

[Masekase_Hurricane]

really? It's made the fights more fun instead of the usual stuff.

I love how anytime anything new is added in a mmo will it will somehow bother someone, somewhere because of x reason. It's a cool mechanic and if for some reason you can't handle it, let someone else do it. Problem solved.

I'm pretty sure that in Shinryu's case everyone has to do it.

I also don't think I should have to explain how spamming ONE button over and over fails to be an engaging and fun mechanic.

It doesnt even have to be 1 button. I use left/rightclick and spacebar. Alternate left/right while tapping spacebar and it's done in less than a second. OP regarding "handstrain" shouldn't be an issue for anybody who doesn't have crippling pain in their hands as the norm.

You can press all the buttons if you wanted. I enjoy it, it is a nice distraction for a few moments from having to worry about my rotation etc and just watch the cool sequence while spamming buttons to fill the gauge.

I don't consider spamming one button repeatedly "new" or innovative. Maybe I've jaded from doing that for 26 levels with Dragoon. Jokes aside, it's fine for an occasional thing. If they keep bringing it up, it'll grow old very fast.

Eh, most mechanics can be fun but you have to consider the context of every time you do X instance be prepared to spam left click like you're just jumped into an idle clicker game mentality. I can understand why people wouldn't find that fun. Content like timing it better because you aren't brute forcing to reach the objective rather you are waiting to execute the command at the right moment. AKA Lakshmi fight. I'd much prefer content in which you are given a special item that is required to react to certain mechanics than to have to rapid fire a button before time runs out.

It's different. I don't mind the occasional QTE in my MMO.
