    [Dev 1032] "Rush mode" new alternative battle regiment idea.

    After read the thread about "they should include FFXIII stack actions" I have this idea pop up into mind...

    What if they add a "button" near battle regiment called "rush mode" and when you start this, you have a blink aura effect just like when you start battle regiment (could change color of the effect so that it doesn't look exactly same as regiment start) After that, allow you to stack skills as much as you like until your "stamina bar" is full. and then you can press "G" to perform the actions combo. This will include all of your actions that you stack into it as one big combo!! This should be able to work as either solo or party, and it bring more strategy into game, also lesson spam button needed.


    Pro :

    -Allow you to perform many actions without gap/lag time between actions so it will do more DPS.
    -Add more strategy into battle plan.
    -It is fun to watch longer combo. (if they aren't lazy, they can even add more motion/animation similar to FF13 when you stacks many "normal attack" )
    -Easy task for them to bring this into game! (nothing new is needed)
    -Stack multiple of "normal attacks" all at once lessen your spam buttons, this can even replace auto-attacks. (altho it also be able to work together too! this is so flexible!)

    Con :
    -You need to plan things ahead because you will waste all of your stamina into combo. So it will be in danger if you suddenly need to heal, use different ability or special TP move such as evade counter.
    -You can only start this mode when you stamina bar is full. so it is long waiting and not situation base.
    -In party, it might as well perform the old battle regiment instead of this, because it give extra effect too, while this give nothing other than reduce lag between actions. (so the game need to have both as option for players choices)

    Sounds great. Maybe even combine this rush mode with battle regimen to has a combo attack added to the regimen. When monsters become super strong that would be a great addition.

    Ohh!! very great idea! I vote for it!

    This will make the game become more FF-like that too! because you wait until your TBA gauge is full before action! this along fix many problems!

    I don't see the advantage in using something like this. Not trying to hate or anything but I don't think it will improve combat in any way. Basically seems like "spam skills without having to press buttons".

    Yep. Rather give us SKILL chains that actually require forethought, coordination and... well, SKILL.

    But of course, her idea is still better than what we have now.
