Youre missing the point, because youve easily exploited the combat system doesnt make it any less in depth. Games like final fantasy have tricks to allow you to level up easily, but it doesnt mean the levelling system is any less complex or deep because youve exploited it.

HS CAN be played as button basher, but my original point was I felt annoyed at how many people saw it as that and nothing more, when in fact if you took the time to explore the combat system its a lot deeper than people realise.


He didn't exploit anything. To exploit a combat system, you need to figure out some trick that reveals a bug or a weakness not thought of when the system was created. For example, the item duplication tricks in Final Fantasy are exploits. Pressing two buttons repeatedly is not exploiting the game, it's just pressing buttons. It would be akin to playing through Final Fantasy, and just pressing A repeatedly in every battle and winning. Not only winning, but having the game do everything for you, like choosing the correct enemies to attack, casting the right spells, etc. Wait a minute, FFXII has this feature, and was heavily criticized for it! Imagine that!

P.S. I love tea.


Well to be fair... in FF12 you had to set your fighting system up fairly intellegently. Though my characters like half autokilled the 2nd or 3rd boss while I was in the bathroom... and I even had Van set to manual so he wasn't helping. They probably could of soloed him (doubled him?)
