Its a more strategic, thoughtful battle system and I for one have loved it since I first encountered it. To go shooter-style is just not FF imo

And not to mention, if you want a point and shoot...you need something to point with. You really want to dedicate one of your two hands to aiming with a mouse in a text-heavy mmorpg? It would basically make voice chat mandatory >.<; eff that shit.
You can have all that, also people already use chat more than text, you know how I know? Because I hardly use voice chat, and when i'm trying to figure out whats going on, noone responds, why? Because they are not paying attention to the chat box. So your point is invalid my friend. Also I use controller now, during a fight I don't have time to set down my controller and type out a message.

What's wrong with going in there, comming out, and discussing the fight?

EDIT: Oh I can set my controller down on blm, because really all I'm doing on blm is spamming 123,123,123,123,123,123,123. Blm is sooo fun just spamming thunder thundara maybe thundaga..... Ya this system is REVOLUTIONARY!!
