I just made a new character to test out the system from fresh. And I won't lie, it is definitely a solid system. It is much more flued, and doesn't lag the character animations like the spamming of the 1 key did. On top of that, I noticed the action I was obtaining between ranks 1-7 were less than normal? I only obtained 2 actions, I seem to remember always getting something every 2 levels? That surprised me, but in a good way, maybe we do have less actions.

However, as positive as the battle system is, I hope they come out with a really good tutorial for it, cause I had to figure out everything from scratch, including auto-lock, how to turn off auto-attack during combat, how to engage, and how to determine if I am engaged at all.

They really need to do something on the keys/mouse end of the spectrum cause It was very luggish, luckily I picked it right up with a controller lol
