I did like SC more from FFXI, however for the fast gameplay, it really would not fit this games battle system. For all you who complain about BR, its got to be one of three things.

1. You have no idea how to utilize it so you shun it.
2. You have never incorporated it in NM fights or hard leve's, even some hard normal mobs.
3. You have used it and understand it, just do not like it.

First off those who even reserve the right to complain would be the ones under three. However, even then if you actually worked on things like team work BR is much more fun and will take almost no time out from the rest of combat. So do not blame BR for your lack of understanding its basic concepts and actually try and work with people on it. If you still do not like it, then just do not use it. Grinding mobs such as raptor at rank 45-46ish could take 75% hp or more just with 3 BR tp moves, if people use it correctly. Save so much time when grinding. =.=
