if you have read many of these posts, there seems to be one thing in common with people that have progressed despite this bug. they all say they have memorized the fights and are not paying attention to the visual cues. i think that says a lot right there.

and what it says is not good. i wish they would make some sort of announcement about this issue.

if it is working as intended, then tell us and we can decide to stay with the game or not. if it is a flaw, then acknowledge it and tell us what is going to be done about it.
