I'm curious as to see how they will implement it. With such a negative reaction from the majority of the community, it surprises me that they haven't scrapped it. Yoshida must firmly believe that it's going to improve the game.

And obviously we don't know how it works. Players can say they hate something but until they use it in practice, they wont really know for sure.
