I don´t grasp for anything to justify the current state of SMN. I´ve claimed more than once that both are no SMN´s for me, just with the addition that the new one is nothing more than -dots +animations = still no real SMN gameplay.
And it´s still YOUR enjoyment, not those of others. Some ppl enjoy the current SMN, some might enjoy the new SMN, i would enjoy something way different. And you started the "FF series lore" about SMN as argument, just to not care about it in the next moment. It makes the argument completely invalid and shows, that you grasp for stuff to argue for your own, not for others, not for the lore and not for the gameplay. (Since you don´t even know, if it would really match your expectations.)
