New Nintendo patent could banish summons in FFXIV

[Uzephi]

This patent specifically refers to the autobattler Let's Go feature, while I generally agree that patent abuse should go die in a fire, I also think Nintendo has my full support of this patent means that no other game will ever have this absolute dogshit feature, they can keep it.

Have you read the patent? It plainly shows the classic pokemon battlefield, not an auto battler. Some diagrams show throwing the pokeball to summon on the field and even sub menus for attack, item, etc. please don't spread misinformation. Here's the patent links for your research: https://gamesfray.com/wp-content/upl...2025-09-02.pdf

Edit: "In the configuration of the any one of above (1) to (9), in a battle by the first mode, a plurality of commands including at least an attack by the sub character on the enemy character and capture of the enemy character may be designated based on an operation input, and motions of the player character and/or the sub character corresponding to the designated commands may be executed."

Sending commands for battle doesn't sound like an auto battler to me... Sounds like I'm opening the attack menu and selecting from the four moves that sub character has... Like a classic pokemon battle.
