    Making a game for the masses usually does seem to mean dumbing it down, but this is a problem with the developers as many feel that the masses don't want to think, but button mash. True there are probably many who would rather just mash randomly and grow quickly. But it's also true that many would rather have their minds engaged and be able to better their battle efficiency and performance with some good old thinking.

    There is a reason Mario games are so popular with both hardcores and the masses. Because they know how to engage your brain and give you goals that make you proud to have achieved. And they had both main achievements and THEN more difficult stuff.

    To use another Mario refrence to show my point- button mashing in this game should be enough to let you beat it, but the tactics should be the only way your collecting ALL the stars! In other words, let the masses play how they want, but leave the option to do this for those who are willing to really get into the game.
