Compare Alpha Battle System to the current battle system and try to find a different word to better describe wtf you are looking at.

What am I looking at? A Hope diamond sized piece of crap (the games battle system) and no matter how much spit-shine you put on it its still a whopping turd. The difference is not "drastic" or whatever word you want to put in there. Is it different? Yeah, sure barely but what does that really have to do with the point or meaning of the OPs intent? It would have been a drastically different system if they listened to what we were screaming in alpha and beta (which I was a part of) but instead they elected to go with the slow-rolling train wreck we're trapped in.

Its utterly baffling to me how anyone can try and defend this in even a quasi kinda way. The people in charge of the game (ad-libing for brevity sake) say the game sucks and is boring. The polls pointed out the populace is clambering for drastic change cause the game sucks (in particular the battle system which is why Yoshi fixated on it) and they don't even charge us because the game sucks. The fact anyone can defend this game in borderline laughable.

I see alot of "this sucks" and "that sucks". What things in the battle system do you not like in particular? I think the pace of the battle is faster than what FFXI had. I consider it less boring too since you pretty much control "when" you're going to attack, etc. and are not just watching your character attack for you.
