I import FFXIII-2 and the battle is really fun, fast, sparkling!

I don't care it's offline game or online game, it's has to be fun in order to attract people to play.
This game is definitely lacking content, but I agree 120% that the pace of battle, even with combos, still feels relatively sluggish. It also doesn't help that outside of Primal Battles enemies are paper thin punching bags that don't seem to require even the slightest bit of strategy to overtake.

I think one of my favorite aspects of FFXIII and FFIV DS is that even the lowliest of mob can still end you if you aren't careful. I remember fighting the dual behemoths that you'd occasionally deal with on the Moon in FFIV DS and getting hammered. It wasn't until I thought "hang on a sec, let me try berserk!" and low and behold, downed SOBs.

Every single battle needs to test your skill as a player. An auto-attack system and static SP don't provide that feeling of satisfaction.
