    I'm not saying you should stop at that, what I'm saying is even though we planes doesn't mean we went and changed what the wheel is. You dont see planes with skiies instead sliding across the ice to take off. The wheel works, it does the job, dont change it, no need to. Same logic applies to the battle system. They had a working system but felt the need to change it, complicate it and eventually have it as a result of "broken" and being put back to how it should be. Because something like Stats does not need improving on, its a finalised and fully purposed feature. There are some things there are just not worth improving on. It's like trying to reinvent the cup. CANT BE DONE!
    You see the attempt to reinvent the wheel and i see an attempt at the air plane. Ideas fail countless times when they try to revolutionize something; much like how many times inventions attempting flight failed, but when they nail it, it revolutionized travel.

    In the analogy i see battle as TRAVEL and the wheel, air plane, ski what have it being different attempts to change/improve it, which would be different MMO's trying different systems to change/improve battle..

    Many different successful MMO's have tried many different battle systems, FF XIV just failed and as much as that sucks it still dose not mean they should stop trying to innovate.
