While i enjoy new ast, i still really hate the new card system despite playing it for more than a year. even if the new cards are better for balance and consistency, the playability is awful. having to scroll the party list every time you want to use a card is so annoying that people both in computer and controller made macros to make it easier on them. and if you dont like the clunkiness of macros you have to deal with the clunkiness of the job. I want old ast back just so i dont have to target party members so often; i remember that before sleeve draw got changed my hands tendons would hurt from all the targetting, and while its better in that regard now, that was still only a bandaid fix.

I think the past card system couldve been improved by cycling the cards (makes it consistent) and by giving alternate uses to the "useless" cards instead of just minor arcana and hope its a lord. Or if they let us use a card without using up royal road, a lot of cards wouldve seen more use.

And there was also no reason to get rid of time dilation.
