I, however, am gifted enough in imagination to be able to create my own outcome from the choices laid in front of me and I welcome the freedom it gives. Square Enix must not neglect you players who are not having a good time and so they will redesign the game for you, but that doesn't mean I will ever respect your lack of spine.

The openness of this game did correlate with its failure but that doesn't mean it caused its failure. To your lack of spine, lack of imagination, and baby urges, you can add lack of critical thinking.
Cant we discuss a topic without name calling. Its damaging to your point when someone lobs insults at the opposing view point. While I think you do have a small point I must disagree. A open system is far to bland and boring. Sure there is an appeal to it but it lacks long term enjoyment and strategy. Im not saying go to the XI style of 1 main 1 sub, but I defiantly had way more fun lvling different class's in XI. I dont know what the best course of action would be but varying from light to heavy penalties (depending on the lvl of the skill) for off class ability's does seem like a good place to start. With the changes coming to the combat system such as auto atk & etc. well see the playing strategy change. This may help or hurt, walking the fine line between open/rigid.
