Since people already explained why, my answer is just no.

Then you would go to the FF XV problem.While not nerly to that extend, but the game would play itself to some extent, and would take away the fun of the game.Once you fill the ATB, you don't have to take control over them.Just "freeze" time and issue a command to them(magic, ability, the ones that actually deal damage) and get back to the action.

This is the best decision the devs made.

Emmm... no. Barret shooting at what he should shoot and using a potion from time to time is not "the game playing itself". It's more of "Here I am, fighting with my allies... and they can be competent by themselves. And if I want them to be even more competent or do something especial, I take control over them".

Honestly, I fail to see what would be the problem in the party members being, not OP, but simply competent. Why should I be beaten into a bloody paste by those one eyed soldiers as Barret because I'm trying to take down the flying robots while Cloud is trying to do the same (without any hope of succeeding) and ignoring the ground enemies HE IS DESIGNED TO DESTROY?

And potions are limited.I wouldnt want to run out of potions, just because Barret, Tifa and ASerith all used one just because their hp is 30% down.

Plus, the ability to manage the party is part of the challenge and the fun.A design choice, as many have said.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.
