I agree. This game uniqueness must be protected regardless of how much playerbase complain. Every FF had its own face...its like FFXIII...people bash that game like crazy...but it had some historical salles and i bet its sequel WILL sell just as much!

Right now i'm in "Standby mode", waiting Akihiko Matsui start posting about the battle system like was said at letter IX. Because auto-attack does can be effectively used in the current battle system so i want to see how it will be used and what's the other changes the battle team has in mind.

However, after his 3 comments (completely unfortunate ones...he's just as bad as Tanaka was when come to commenting features) that list auto-attack, time-based skills combos and "2hrs abilities" really leaves the taste that it will be a copy/paste battle system from a "certain" old, almost dead MMO. Hopefully they will copy the anniversary ring aswell! =P
