Naoki Yoshida interview @Gamescom

[Brannigan]

Love this quote from Yoshi-P. So true.

This is the problem with memorization-heavy fight scripts though. Once you memorize the fight script -- along with the little variables, such as who has to pick up the script at different points -- then everything really is easy.

The problem is the dev team is misinterpreting "this stuff is easy" to mean "nothing in the game is challenging." A very, very, very tiny percentage of the content in the game actually requires you to play well and use some teamwork. That stuff is fine and doesn't need to be harder - in fact, some of it is probably too hard. However, everything ELSE in the game is basically unable to kill a group of players that knows how to play their jobs at even half capacity. That's the content that needs to be brought up a bit. It doesn't need to be ball bustingly hard, but a game that you can't lose is no fun.

Also no addons is such BS. People are going to use parsers anyway, like they do now. Just let me reskin some stuff at least.
