I loved the gambits in 12, couldn't have beat Yiazmat without them. Everyone who didn't like them, could just elect not use them. I don't get why people didn't realize that.

I like to choose what every one of my characters does in combat that's why gambits irrated me. I knew how to use them perfectly to the point that I was feeling like I was walking my party from one automated fight to the other.

Yeah, but you could just not use them problem solved right?  I enjoyed gambits, because like I said I couldn't sit through 7 hours of fighting Yiazmat and select each and every action.  Did you beat Yiazmat or hell wyrm?  Honestly tell me if you could have sat there and NOT used gambits for those fights.

The battle system was built around gambits so not using them was not really an option. I didn't get all summons so I don't think I fought Yiazmat but I'm pretty sure that if the fight lasted 7 hours, you were doing something wrong.

No, Square has a thing for really long boss battles.
