Here we go. The desperation to prove a bad game good by calling every other game crap.

No old FF's werent auto attack 95% of the time. There was alot of attacking, but there was alot of using magic, using skills, using limit breaks, using items. Old FF games make you think and strategise while you play. FFXIII urges you to use one button. Its not the same at all.

You keep saying auto-attack 95% of the time.

"Old FF games make you think and strategise while you play" - FFXIII doesnt? Are you sure you played the game? I'm honestly thinking you are just hating for the sake of hating. There is no way you could passed over several of the locations in FFXIII if you just blindly auto attacked.

I dont see how FFIV, FFVII, FFIX, and FFX are any different from FFXIII when it comes to "Strategies". You use attack/fight, use magic, use items and use limit breaks......uuhh that sounds like FFXIII too.

I know what you're saying. People confuse the removal of "mash the X Button to fight weaklings" with the removal of strategies. Because mashing a button to repeat the same attacks all the time, when battling those weak monsters poping up every 30 seconds, is so rewarding! It's funny, because when fighting the tougher bosses in FF XIII, you really need to know what you're doing and make the proper Paragon Shifts to suceed. Yeah, you can hit "auto battle" endlessly when fighting weaker mobs, but that the same with every Final Fantasy games.

Maybe he wants a "Kinect auto attack" command and watch the game play itself during normal part.
