BR vs SC.... missing the point

[Alcide]

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. =.=

I'm so glad to read this, so i'm not the only one thinking this way *-* I was starting to believe i was crazy.

Based on all the arguments and MULTIPLE threads that this could have originally been posted in, it seems like the only thing people really don't like about BR's is that they aren't flashy. I don't know why we would have to scrap the whole BR system when all it really needs is to 'look' cooler. Also SC/MB just won't work in the current combat system properly. I think they just need to come up with a way to have it not interfere with the flow of combat and be a little flashier and then we can stop this retarded argument about bringing in stuff from FFXI.

Agree, SC definitely won't work. People are already complaining that the game is spammy, try to figure out what would it be with a SC system... BR actually give to the whole battle system the right pace, balancing the lack of the auto attack.

I like the current system, but I have to agree sometimes it can be annoying to wait for slow people and it can lend to reactions like "WTF ARE YOU DOING??? PUT THAT F*ING SKILL IN THE DAMN BR" wich really isn't nice ^^' to prevent it I think it would be better to lower the number of skills allowed in a BR from 8 to 4, rather then allowing people to do something while waiting for everyone to join BR. This way you'll have more BR and they'll be faster, but still they would be in line with the pace of the battle system. Also I guess it would be easier for the devs to make cool animations for combos of 4 people rather then 8.
