Or if you are going with stances, something where you can shift from one stance to another, but only one way, like heavy stance>flurry stance> critical stance, and some skills only available in certain stances, Basically something more involved than only 2 stances. and some reaction or combo skills available or more common from certain stances, much like evades will happen more with defensive stance.

Its my personal opinion of course, but i prefer a more involved battle style, closer to what we have now, than what monk was like in FFXI battle wise. It really was the least interactive class before abyssea, now i dont really know how it plays.

Im not really sure what thier specific goal was with auto attack, so i cant say if this fits their vision, but honestly i would rather have manual flurry than auto attack, also the 2 stance thing will negate the balance you could sometimes get with like light strike> heavy strike> flurry> light strike, you basically go pure offense or pure defense.

in that case I agree, more reactive skills are needed to keep the battle system fresh. more when you evade, when you miss when you crit type skills
