Battle Formations

[ZakarnRosewood]

I think this encourages a very static battle, sit in one place and spam attacks. I'm hoping for more dynamic fights in ARR, ones that include needing to move about and reposition yourself. Like this knock back stuff I read about.

Instead I would prefer to see something where elevation and terrain will be taken into account. A dragoon will do more damage with his jump if he does it off of a higher elevation than the enemy, Same with archers. Lightening will do more damage if the enemy is standing in water. The enemy can knock you off your "perch" as an AI strategy, or you can knock them down so they dont have the advantage over you. Like they did in FFT: War of the Lions.

Thoughts?

To add to this, I remember in FFT: WotL some attacks could target specific body parts. They have already mentioned incapacitation for boss fights, I really hope it will be like this.
