Remember when karakuls used to do this?

I'm still not sure why they did away with unique mob mechanics, it was a really cool feature.

At a guess they were trying to cut lag or reduce the game's download size?

It was because they deemed it "too stressful" as these mobs would engage (in aggressive or friendly manner) you regardless of what you are doing or if you wanted to engage them.

1.0 was at least playabe for me. this theme park crap makes me wanna puke.

It's just the unfortunate way of appealing to different audiences. There are some that love the way 1.0 was. I loved a good number of things about 1.0, but the way the Anima system worked along with some initial problems turned me off to it. 2.0 is good, in its own way, but I miss some of the ways that 1.0 was as well.

In the end, the 1.0 system failed for a number of reasons. It shows that the style of 1.0 is probably a dying breed, as much as I am remiss to say it, and that maybe 2.0's 'them-park' system is the way to go if you want a profitable and successful MMO. =/

People need to stop reminding me how much better 1.0 battle system looked and felt like or I will never be able to truly enjoy 2.0. ; ;

Just remember how you died by eruption during Ifrit fight because you did 1 weapon skill at the wrong time.

It was an inventory killer.
