Great. It's clear that you like playing the same thing over and over again. The series's battle system hardly evolved for 10 games. Why the sudden concern with repetition?

Yes, in every FF you do the same thing - fight monsters, sometimes you even use the same commands. but you're always pressing different buttons in this game you're keeping your thumb on an analog stick and THATS your game.
Not only is this not true, but I'd frankly rather do that (and I've been doing quite a lot of it now that I've beaten the game and am just doing side quests, and I'm overlevelled for many areas) than endlessly breaking the flow of the game with random battles, only to repeat the exact same attack patterns over and over. Seriously.
