Did squenix make a mistake by investing too much in graphics and not enough in

[weeble]

Can hardly call spamming 1 every 2 seconds action based gameplay. If we aren't attacking, blocking, evading, judging timings, etc., then it's not action based combat.

well i can imagine that the system may have been way better if they didn't fail at launch and also the same issues they talk about in this thread with the engine or whatever. it was implemented badly, it diid not need to be removed, just like 15man groups didn't need to be removed, none of it needed removing, it needed fixing. it all got removed cause the failed launch handed power over to tools that shouldn't even have a say in what our mmo's look like.

the game still has potential but meh totally opposite direction though.
