What I don't get is that you complain about repetition (constantly), yet you say the kind of repetition you get in an FF game where you attack the same way over and over again for hours on end, is ok. You say the difficulty is fine with you and that you're happy with it, but that statement makes it seem like you want it to be easy, like grinding in an FF game.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, I respect that, but in my opinion your argument sucks @$$.
