I love the gameplay part of playing games.
I guess I agree that action of some kind is better than just a cutscene or a linkshell call… Thancred is the stealth expert, but maybe our character could’ve gone along to create a diversion or few to make his objective easier.

It’s just a personal preference really… every other FF game you’re controlling someone else, but in the MMOs, you get to be your own custom character, and I’ve grown to prefer that.
