Auto-attack is a step backward.

[Physic]

Actually, traditional rpg sometimes has an "Auto battle" mechanic which wasn't always smartly scripted. FF wise, a few of the remakes incorporated an Auto Battle mechanic as well.

so auto attack, is like auto battle? whose only purpose was to play the game for you if you found it to tedious to kill things? honestly id rather them just create a autobattle/bot option than forcing every one to auto attack all the time.

They probably should add a voice option, or a speech2text option because auto attack really isnt the best battle system, people who were spamming 1 never learned the way you re supposed to play the game, though i will say battle was pretty involved when you did it right, making it less involved and more like automated play for everyone, is a bad idea
