In fact, if I didn't know any better I would think the "fans" they made XIV for were the same ones that they made XII for.

I would not want it in XIV. Combat is already easy enough as is. Keeping it easy would just make matters worse.
Sorry but I must disagree... The most boring battle system is the one from FFX, which contains no new things (besides party switching).
FFXII battle system is great and the story is fabulous (no wonder he had a very very good review). FFXII is the only one from PS2 that I enjoy replay. Its big, entertainning and has lots of things to do (beside the liberty given to players). I've walkedthrough FFXII 3 times (now I'm in the forth), since it came out, FFX two times and FFX-2 one time.

I respect the fact that you like classical battle system (I love FFVII, VIII and IX) but saying that FFXII is bad, well... maybe its because that one wasn't for you... (like FFX-2 wasn't for me).
