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's the same as mashing the fight command in every other Final Fantasy games.

What a laugh. The strategy is that you have to watch wich skills/spells to use and manage your MP or resources and kill enemies in the fastest and most efficient way possible. Its nothing like what FFXIII has.
And serirously, im not talking absolutes but near absolutes. Bosses werent that different. You just had to change to a healing paradigm to heal the damage. Woot look at the total of 2 strategies. Heavy stuff!
Look guys, its best to agree to disagree. You think the game isnt terrible, but i had a terrible time with it (and i wasnt the only one) and i was really really trying to like it. Its just a dull game. Some people have higher tolerance to dullness and grinding than others have. I just assume you guys have a higher tolerance to it, so you can find some enjoyment in it. Thats all there is here.
Saying im a hater is also a poor atempt at trying to overthrow my arguments. I dont hate it, i dislike bad games. Wich i think is common to everyone.

Well you have to figure out and craft Paradigms. So you can use a one healer paradigm or a two healer paradigm or a 3 healer paradigm, and that choice is usually based off of which character in your party has the best healing ability/spells available. It's far more complex of a choice than you presume. And there is also quite a few instances (Eidolon battles) were you HAVE to use SENTINEL to defeat them.
You simply don't understand the gameplay involved, and parot what most reviewers were claiming back in the day. Polly want a cracker? I thought so.

And probably played on easy.
