To the 2 up top. I don't think that is the way he meant.

There is other way of making a fight then being a DDR. There could be status effects that need to be removed, or make it so you buff the bosses damage if you hit it while you have it.

Just a focus more on your characters skills/stats, rather then something that your character has no control over as it is now.

And we have that in plenty. Tank swap debuffs, healing debuffs, add control etc etc. The reason you feel like you are playing ddr is because of the scripted nature of the fights, not because the fights aren't tank and spank.
