    How am i even defending it? lol I'm just saying there is a drastic "change/difference." Not a drastic "improvement"

    Learn to read before you start defending your own opinions. I was aiming at how the OP can compare a battle system we dont even use anymore to a battle system we've known and loved for over 8 years. Its a no-brainer.

    Semantics. Anyway, its not drastic but thats your opinion. Bizarre as it may be. The OPs ultimate point remains: The system sucks. Whatever footage he put in from then or me playing today it sucks.

    I read just fine. Thank you for my literacy concerns.

    The comment was aimed at anyone defending this game still. Again, the battle system itself is not all that different from Alpha to now. Suck is suck. And it is relevant (the comparison) because they had 8 years of data on what works and what doesn't and instead they gave birth to this freakshow that they can't even charge admission for because its that stinking ugly.

    You are still not seeing my point. I'm not defending or praising anything, yet you are assuming I am. Get over it. You say it sucks, and yes i agree with you, happy now? I feel it sucks as well, there are no defining roles at all, and the whole battle system is just spamming actions as soon as you have enough stamina.

    I may be exaggerating it a bit, but for the most part, and the final god-damned time i'll say it..

    YES, the battle system sucks. Good god man.. get a grip.

    I'd recommend that most of you step up from coblyns and rats.

    Meh, more grinding spots for me if they stay there. >_>

You can pretty much down an enemy by spamming action commands, regardless of the +5 damage you do from attacking behind.
    Which you pretty much could do in XI, except without the mashing.
