The one outlier is the Thancred stealth mission. That one actually shook things up enough to be interesting but the ones that are plain combat? I'd almost rather watch that happen in a cutscene than suffer through the "gameplay".
Seconding this. It worries me that this is their idea of accessibility: just mashing everything into one button that you spam over and over again on a 3-button system. I hope this isn't the future we're headed towards. Remove abilities that no longer serve a purpose, sure, but the "everything is on 1 and you just mash 1" stuff is god-awful. Hell, even the current 123 setup is pretty dull, imagine just tapping 1 the majority of the time. We already have a whole forum complaining about that. It's called the healer section.
