After getting my Pugilist and Thaumaturge closer and closer to level 50, I've pretty much gained a disdain for auto-attack and combat in general. I've almost fallen asleep at my desk more than once after about 15 minutes of playtime. I seriously hope Matsui knows what he's doing. As it stands, paper thin enemies, the lack of strategy needed to take out said enemies, and generally boring abilities(alleviated in 1.20 ideally) does not a compelling game experience make.

Of course while I've made the rant against static SP and auto-attack many times in the past, that ship has already sailed with the Final Fantasy XI fanboys commanding the helm. I said I'd give it a shot once the system was released before giving my feedback and I did, so there's a small piece of my feedback.
