Are Final Fantasy 10 fans hypocrites?

Auto battle is possible in FFXIII and you can even do the whole game with only auto battle. You cannot auto battle throughout any other FF game. Sure you could say in FFXII that you can make it automated, but the player has decide what is within via gambits. Auto aiming is definitely different then auto battle though. I never really played those games so I cannot comment on them.

 

I know it is possible, the point is that Auto-battle is optional. If you hate it, don't use it. Also, just like in XII, you have to set roles for each character in XIII before the battle, and when you lose, you try different combination. During the battle you keep changing roles to adapt to the situation and to stagger the enemies. There is depth to the combat system even if you choose to use auto-battle

Auto aiming is not diffrent at all. press one button ( R2 ) and the pointer is exactly on the enemy... shoot. If the enemy moves, re-press R2 and the pointer is on him again.

I hope my point is clear this time.

 

Point is, that it is optional. It is not possible in any other FF. FFXIII has an exclusive feature that takes away from the game to most people.

 

Don't like it? Don't use it. Could not be more true as is the same for this statement. Don't like the game? Don't play it. Yet I did both. 

And thus I relay my experiences comparing it to other games in the series.

 

Auto Aim is for Shooters, while Auto battle is for FFXIII. Very different genres and gameplay mechanics.
